Remove legacy catalog_category_product_index query

[mohaelmrabet]

Description (*)

This PR removes the problematic getProductsCountQuery() method that was querying the catalog_category_product_index table, which is always empty in modern Magento installations using store-segmented indexing.

Note: No changes were made to the constructor - backward compatibility is fully maintained through existing nullable parameters and ObjectManager fallbacks.

Fixed Issues (if relevant)

1. Fixes magento/magento2#40320

Manual testing scenarios (*)

1. Load a category collection with product counts enabled:

$collection = $objectManager->create(\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Category\Collection::class);
$collection->setLoadProductCount(true)->load();

2. Verify in SQL logs that queries use catalog_category_product table and NOT catalog_category_product_index Confirm that product counts are accurate for categories across different stores
3. Test with both small category sets (<400) and large category sets (>400) to ensure both code paths work correctly Verify product counts respect website/store filtering
4. Test multi-website setup: Create products assigned to different websites and verify each website's category shows correct product count
