I have a usecase where I have an iterator that produces coils, and I want to avoid creating a temporary buffer when constructing the
Coilsobject for a response.To archive this, I had to change
modbus_core::pack_coilsto also accept an iterator, and I needed it to return the number of coils, not the number of bytes. Since the previous return type was the number of bytes as ausize, instead of using ausizeto represent the number of coils (thus potentially silently breaking code) I added a new typeCoilQuantitythat makes it clear what the number is used for.
