use gauge for MR counters

based on the discussion  https://issues.cask.co/browse/CDAP-798, we decided to keep the map reduce metrics consistent with how its reported ( as gauges). 

the PR https://github.com/caskdata/cdap/pull/726 was merged by the release manager, before i changed. so sending this change as new PR. 
Is `calcDiffAndSetTableValue` still being used? Seems like it's only there to emulate gauges using counters.
