Show number of remote commits / auto-fetch

[alensiljak]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to see the remote commits when I open the app, on the Status view, in order to prevent/avoid automatic merge commits or manual pulling.

On the line between the Unstaged and Staged Changes, there is an indicator with numbers and arrows, and the branch name. This looks similac to what lazygit has. My assumption was that this indicates the local commits to be sent, and remote commits to be pulled from the remote repository. However, the numbers are always 0 in my case.

Describe the solution you'd like
On app start, if there is a remote repo defined, it should try to automatically fetch and display the difference - number of commits to pull/push.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual pulling. Lazygit.

Additional context
I'm using gitui in Termux.
