 Ah, seems reasonable.  I still think that for now we'd like to stick to
 only one function named bytestring_to_count.  Adding something akin to
 unpack doesn't fit the longer term model we're putting in place and I'd
 like to avoid the various bit length uint functions since in Bro all
 integers are 64bit.
