Add numPages field

[dstillman]

Currently "pages" is used both for the number of total pages in a book and for the page on which an article appears.

In most cases, Pages field would contain page range (i.e. 12-35, etc.), which is necessary for citation--it would be great if this remained the purpose of the existing field. If you create the new field, please make it store the total number of pages--only books or, rarely, manuscripts, would have that value, and, as far as I know, it is never necessary for citation purposes.

Great--thanks.
