Code in functions.cc creates the different TYPEasblob() and blobasTYPE()
functions for all type names TYPE. The functions for the "counter" type
were skipped, supposedly because "counters are not supported yet". But
counters are supported, so let's add the missing functions.
The code fix is trivial, the tests that verify that the result behaves
like Cassandra took more work.
After this patch, unimplemented::cause::COUNTERS is no longer used
anywhere in the code. I wanted to remove it, but noticed that
unimplemented::cause is a graveyard of unused causes, so decided not
to remove this one either. We should clean it up in a separate patch.
