When testing metric expressions we fake counter values from 1 going
upward. For some metrics this can yield negative values that are clipped
to zero, and then cause divide by zero failures.

Such clipping is questionable but may be a result of tools automatically
generating metrics. A workaround for this case is to try a second time
with counter values going in the opposite direction.

This case was seen in a metric like:
  event1 / max(event2 - event3, 0)
But it may also happen in more sensible metrics like:
  event1 / (event2 + event3 - 1 - event4)
