ZVC: overcompensate while incrementing ZVC counters

Overcompensate by a balance factor when incrementing or decrementing
ZVC counters anticipating continual increase in the same direction.

Note that I have not (yet) been able to see any effect off this approach on
an 8p system where I tested this.
I probably will have a chance to test it on larger systems (160p) tomorrow.
