Adds a coalescing read planner that merges nearby tags into single FC03/FC04 PDUs, opt-in via ModbusDriverOptions.MaxReadGap. Default 0 = no coalescing (every tag gets its own PDU — preserves pre-#143 wire output). Worked example with MaxReadGap=10: T1 @ HR 100 (Int16, 1 reg) T2 @ HR 102 (Int16, 1 reg, gap 1 → joins block) T3 @ HR 110 (Float32, 2 regs, gap 7 → joins block) T4 @ HR 200 (Int16, 1 reg, gap 89 → splits, separate read) → 2 PDUs total: FC03 start=100 quantity=12 + FC03 start=200 quantity=1. Planner: - Eligible tags: known + register region (HR/IR) + scalar + not String / BitInRegister / array + not CoalesceProhibited. - Groups by (UnitId, Region) — never coalesces across slaves or regions. - Sorts by start address; merges when (next.start - last.end - 1) ≤ MaxReadGap AND the resulting span ≤ MaxRegistersPerRead. Otherwise opens a new block. - Single-tag blocks are deferred to the per-tag path so WriteOnChange cache semantics stay correct without duplication. - Per-block failure marks every member tag Bad and degrades health — same semantics the per-tag path has, but at the block granularity. Per-tag escape hatch ModbusTagDefinition.CoalesceProhibited (bool, default false) — when true, the tag is read in isolation regardless of MaxReadGap. For PLCs with protected register holes between adjacent tags. Tests (7 new ModbusCoalescingTests): - MaxReadGap=0 keeps the per-tag behavior (2 reads for 2 tags). - MaxReadGap=2 merges 3 tags within 5 registers into 1 read of qty=5. - MaxReadGap=10 splits T1+T2 from T3 when the gap exceeds the threshold. - CoalesceProhibited tag reads alone even when neighbours are eligible. - Coalescing never crosses UnitId boundaries (multi-slave gateway safety). - MaxRegistersPerRead caps a would-be block; planner falls back to separate reads when the merged span would exceed the cap. - Per-tag values surface independently after coalescing (slice-math sanity). Existing 220 unit tests still green; total 224 pass with the new file (tests are additive, no regressions). Follow-up: auto-split-on-protected-hole isn't shipped — a coalesced read that hits an Illegal Data Address right now marks every member Bad until the operator sets CoalesceProhibited on the offending tag. Tracked implicitly by #138's e2e drill against a pymodbus profile with a protected hole mid-block.
