COUNT_GLITCH() will implement an unconditional counter on its declaration line when DEBUG_GLITCHES is set, and do nothing otherwise. The output will be reported as "GLT" and can be filtered as "glt" on the CLI. The purpose is to help figure what's happening if some glitches counters start going through the roof. The macro supports an optional string argument to describe the cause of the glitch (e.g. "truncated header"), which is then reported in the dump. For now this is conditioned by DEBUG_GLITCHES but if it turns out to be light enough, maybe we'll keep it enabled full time. In this case it might have to be moved away from debug dev, or at least documented (or done as debug counters maybe so that dev can remain undocumented and updatable within a branch?).
