"Stacks" circuit mode for chests

[leadraven]

TL;DR

Chest circuit mode that sends stacks amount instead of items amount.

What ?

Currently chests have only one circuit mode : send full content info.
I suggest alternative mode : send content info per-stack instead of per-item.

Why ?

I'm designing circuit setup based on storage fullness regardless of stored items type, so I could blueprint it without customization.
Constant combinator with all potential stack sizes isn't a great solution.

Is empty slots amount not enough?

It’s for 0.17, but I think that should be upgradeable “by hand” (normally need to upgrade the version number in info.json). Not tested, so you can blame me.

This one is better, thx.
But suggestion is still relevant.
