increase() returns a cumulative sum of non-negative differences between rows in a table. For example:

Given the following input:

_time_value
2020-01-01T00:01:00Z1
2020-01-01T00:02:00Z2
2020-01-01T00:03:00Z8
2020-01-01T00:04:00Z10
2020-01-01T00:05:00Z0
2020-01-01T00:06:00Z4

increase() returns:

_time_value
2020-01-01T00:02:00Z1
2020-01-01T00:03:00Z7
2020-01-01T00:04:00Z9
