Configuring rlm_counter for gigaword

[Jeff Wark]

I'm not sure what rlm_counter is, but the documentation for regular 
accounting states:

*snip*
Modify FreeRADIUS Queries

Secondly, modify the accounting queries in sql.conf to make the SQL 
database perform the computation that is required to merge the two 
values sent as attributes by the NAS into one single 64-bit integer 
stored in the database.

All occurences of '%{Acct-Input-Octets}' need to be replaced with:
'%{Acct-Input-Gigawords:-0}' << 32 | '%{Acct-Input-Octets:-0}'

The same thing needs to be done for '%{Acct-Output-Octets}':
'%{Acct-Output-Gigawords:-0}' << 32 | '%{Acct-Output-Octets:-0}'
*snip*

Found at http://wiki.freeradius.org/FAQ#Common-problems-and-their-solutions

Also, the database table must be able to hold the larger values.
