    This adds two new class methods for CounterField: increment_many, and
    decrement_many. These can be used for incrementing or decrementing many
    fields at once on an instance of a model.

    It also makes two changes to saving field values.

    An initializer can now return None, meaning that CounterField won't set
    the field and save the object. That's intended for when an initializer
    will be handling setting the field itself, perhaps through
    increment_many() or update().

    When saving the field, CounterField now passes update_fields to save(),
    ensuring we only save those affected fields and don't unintentionally
    save other aspects of the model.

    Tested along with a change on Review Board that makes extensive use
    of these functions.
