Similar to the recently added [rx|tx]_packet_delimiter options, these
emit summary annotations ("packets") when a certain number of data values
have been decoded.
This is a convenience feature which can be useful when a user wants to
view data which doesn't have a specified delimiter value (as last data
value in the "packet"), but rather fixed-length "packets".
This is just an (intentionally very simple) helper/convenience improvement
and is NOT meant to replace "proper" stacked decoders for UART-based protocols.
