Crate global_counter

This crate implements global, thread-safe counters.

Concerning performance, the general ranking is, from fastest to slowest:

• Flushing primitive counters
• Approximate primitive counters
• Exact primitive atomic counters
• Generic counter

Don't forget to make your own benchmarks, as those are very specific to the computing system in general and, in this case, to the OS in specific.
