Season team leaderboards: the top teams per statistic (average rating, goals scored, clean sheets, possession, …), paged like top-players.

Paged like /top-players (limit teams per leaderboard, default 10). Categories vary by sport and are named with the statistic keys (same as the team statistics); statistic is the key in each entry’s statistics the board ranks. matches is null where the source reports 0 beside non-zero counts. A league, season or type without leaderboards returns an empty array.
