To support Performance Counters on Windows, a number of
global `COUNTER_` methods were added that are undocumented
and really only intended to be used internally by Node.js.

Unfortunately, the perfctr support apparently hasn't even
worked for quite a while and no one has even complained.

This removes the perfctr support and replaces the global
functions with deprecated non-ops for now, with the intent
of removing those outright in the next major release cycle.
