If a counter doesn't exist, it's created when you increment/decrement the
counter. Otherwise it returns your API's equivalent of "nothing to see".
So, in CorrugatedIron, you'd call RiakClient.IncrementCounter("bucket",
"counter", 1);
After that command completes, the counter has a value of 1; assuming no other
increments are made.
To initialize to a different value, simply increment/decrement the counter to
the chosen value and begin from there.
