Title: add stats_counts for absolute counts, no aggregation 

The namespace is set with --all-counts-prefix, and it defaults to the
same as upstream statsd: stats_counts

---

Upstream statsd added a new toplevel bucket for storing the non-averaged counts called `stats_counts`. This is basically the same as pystatsd's `--no-aggregate-counters` option, but I find myself wanting both things stored. I want the absolute counts for a short amount of time, but the 10-second-window average when graphite starts doing lower-resolution aggregation later.

This is a good Stack Overflow post about it: http://stackoverflow.com/q/7099197/156
