Contributions summary:Piero implemented new functionality for the `neo4jrb/activegraph` repository, introducing methods such as `increment`, `increment!`, and `concurrent_increment!` for updating numeric attributes of nodes and relationships within the Neo4j graph database. This involved modifying several Ruby files, including core persistence files for both nodes and relationships, as well as end-to-end tests. They also contributed to merging updates from the upstream master branch, incorporating RuboCop fixes and RSpec updates.
