Add CountEmpty - CountNotEmpty as Summarize option

Currently if I receive a file where fields are empty rather than Null(), the summarize won't count them with the CountNull option. Fairly easy to put a formula right before when there is just a couple of fields and change with an IF IsEmpty() but with a file with a large number of fields and large file size, a multiple field tool eats up a lot of time converting.  Not sure if it would just be trading processing speed in the summarize to do basically the same thing.

It's already in there in the string category of the Summarize tool.  Maybe not the most consistent naming - its called "Count Non Blank"

Thanks Ned.  That's exactly what I was looking for.
