Yet another counter
This is my take on a counter:
There are 2 modes, if outputPayload is set to true, the count will be output as the payload, otherwise the input msg will pass through.
You can also specify a flow or global variable to store the count in flowVariable or globalVariable.
Sending msg.reset set to true will set the count back to 0.
