stats_enable_counters, or just stats_counters?

We should prefix it with "stats". I understand the verb issue, but
putting the same prefix for the same module is more important ---
effectively it is stats.collection. Someday we might even use dots so
we can have multiple levels of detail, e.g. stats.block.accumulate or
something like that.
