How can I control the icon that is used used in a stencil. For example, the
icon used with Basic Shapes "rectangle" has a small "4" inside it to
indicate 4-sides (which is not part of the drawing iteself). How can I add
these details to the icon that is displayed with my own stencils and master
shapes?

You can have any icon you like, I'll assume here that you are creating your own stencil:
1. put the stencil into edit mode
2. select the master you wish to change
3. right-click it and select Edit Master - Master Properties
4. ensure Generate icon automatically .. is turned off, select OK
5. again, right click the shape Edit Master - Edit Icon Image
and you are now in icon edit mode.
