Implement this instead as "num_overflows" (COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_U64) and
"ceiling" (COUNTER_COMP_CEILING). You need to expose the count ceiling
anyway and a new "num_overflows" attribute would be useful for other
drivers as well.

Rework this description to make it more general: remove the nanoseconds
conversion formula and references to timestamps. The concept of a
capture is general enough that it could be provided by counter devices
that are not necessarily timestamping. Instead this description should
simply state that this attribute is a historical capture of the Count Y
count data where Z (if present) is the respective capture buffer element
offset.

Other drivers could use "polarity" for signals that are not related to
captures, so remove the language referencing timestamping and generalize
it to simply refer to selecting the Signal Y edge polarity where Z (if
present) is the respective polarity sequence position.
