Add support for the named counter object. It is similar to nfacct in
iptables.

Some examples of use in nft of this new feature:

* Add a new counter:
nft add counter ip filter http-traffic
nft add counter ip filter https-traffic

* Add a new counter with a specific values:
nft add counter ip filter https-traffic { packets 100 bytes 2000}

* Delete the counter (No rule uses this counter)
nft delete counter ip filter https-traffic

* Set the counter to a rule.
nft add rule ip filter output tcp dport 80 counter name http-traffic
nft add rule ip filter output tcp dport 443 counter name https-traffic

* Reset the number of bytes and packets of the counter.
nft reset counter ip filter http-traffic

* Reset the number of bytes and packets of all counter.
nft reset counters

* List all counter:
nft list counters

* List information about the counter.
nft list counter ip test https-traffic

Example of the table with some counter:

 # nft list table ip test

table ip filter {
        counter http-traffic { pkts 779 bytes 99495}
        counter https-traffic { pkts 189 bytes 37824}

        chain output {
                 type filter hook output priority 0;
                 tcp dport http counter name http-traffic
                 tcp dport https counter name https-traffic
        }
}
