* G-Counter (Grow-only Counter) is a state-based CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)

* Each process maintains its own counter, allowing only increments. The total count
* is obtained by summing individual process counts.
* This implementation supports incrementing, querying the total count,
* comparing with other G-Counters, and merging with another G-Counter
* to compute the element-wise maximum.
