Previously cached counting made redis calls in main thread and performed
the flush in main thread.
This could lead to pathological states in extreme heavy load.
This refactor reduces load and cleans up the interface
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
