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.
