 The current way of defining statistics counters is not really
 manageable.  See auth.spec: we repeat something like this for 16
 times:
 {{{
       {
         "item_name": "opcode.query",
         "item_type": "integer",
         "item_optional": true,
         "item_default": 0,
         "item_title": "Received query requests",
         "item_description": "The number of total request counts whose
 opcode is query"
       },
 }}}

 for the 16 per-opcode statistics counters.  This approach won't be
 feasible for larger scale counters such as per RR-type ones.  It's
 also not clear how we define the spec of per zone counters.

 This is a design task where we revisit the spec design so that it will
 be applicable to various types of counters including the above ones.
