[indi_celestron_gps] FR: Multi-run PEC recording

When dealing with 8:3 harmonics on Celestron mounts like the CGEM, it is important to record multiples of 3 runs sequentially in order for the 180 second harmonic to shift through the graph, which allows neutralization of the harmonic when averaging the runs.
The current implementation of PEC recording requires the user to click record per every run. As far as I can tell, if one clicks when the bin is not 1, recording will start from whatever bin we're in at the moment, then will proceed until the total number of bins are elapsed, and the file will be saved with bins reordered correctly to run from 1 to the maximum number.
The issue is that if the next run is not immediately restarted by the user, any missed bins from that worm period are discarded, and the recording will start from whatever bin we're at when clicking Record again. This makes it cumbersome to record continuously for the purpose of averaging out spurious harmonics.
It would be great to have a lineedit field that can be filled with the number of runs required, so that when clicking Record, the driver will start from whatever bin we're at as in the current implementation, but automatically save and restart on subsequent runs. At the end of the number of runs specified by the lineedit, Recording stops and we're left with individual txt files for the runs.
