Add API to Increment client class that increments rather than replaces the 
amount for a column when done multiple times
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-3246
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3246
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client
            Reporter: Jonathan Gray
            Assignee: Jonathan Gray


In the new Increment class, the API to add columns is {{addColumn()}}.  If you 
do this multiple times for an individual column, the amount to increment by is 
replaced.  I think this is the right way for this method to work and it is 
javadoc'd with the behavior.

We should add a new method, {{incrementColumn()}} which will increment any 
existing amount for the specified column rather than replacing it.
