potential problem with wrong response in function decode_packed_coils

[fbrisa]

the function decode_packed_coils under codec/mods.rs takes 2 arguments, one is the byte array with the list of the bytes to unpack, the other is the number of element to iterate

there is a situation where the bytes count is less then count / 8 and the internal "for" crashes the whole program
(I discovered it having a device answering me with wrong data)

I solved it (a fast bugfix to avoid all program to crash) inserting an if statement (I know it is not elegant)

for i in 0usize..count.into() { if i / 8 < bytes.len() { res.push((bytes[i / 8] >> (i % 8)) & 0b1 > 0); } }
I understand you do not expect the device to answer with inconsistent data, but it may still happen (especially with a RS 232 or 485 connection)

I wonder what could be a final solution (if any)
