The phrase "Counter Count function" is verbose and unintentionally
implies that function is a Count extension. This patch adjusts the
Counter subsystem code to use the more direct "Counter function" phrase
to make the intent of this code clearer. The phrase "Count action" is
adjusted herein as well for the same reason.

I agree this makes sense in the counter core code, but in the drivers
it may not be quite so obvious we are talking about a counter function
given some of the bits of hardware do a number of other things.

I guess up to the various driver maintainers on whether they
think the new meaning is clear enough!

TBH, I think "counter count function" makes more sense to me.
