Both commands have a different purpose, with \setupnumber you can
change the conversion of the counter (romannumerals, characters etc.),
add a prefix (chapter, section … number) and let the counter be reset
with each new sectionblock or heading.
With \setnumber you can set the counter to a certain value but to fit
the command in the normal syntax there was a change a while back.
In MkII you set the number in braces
\setnumber[…]{<number>}
but for MkIV you use brackets to set the number
\setnumber[…][<number>]

In MkIV the real names for the counter mechanism are
- \definecounter
- \setupcounter
- \incrementcounter
- \convertedcounter
- …
but for backward compatibility (the names are mentioned in manuals) the old
names from MkII are synonyms with the same syntax.
