[12.x] Add increment and decrement methods to Context

[mattmcdev]

This PR proposes adding increment and decrement methods to Context.

This simplifies keeping track of a counter, e.g. number of records added, number of requests made, etc.

i'd opt for increment, like the Cache facade and Eloquent models have?

Yep - using Laravel Excel with queued chunked imports, can easily keep track of the number of records inserted throughout that import job.
