[Suggestion] Restocker Gauge Threshold #10061

Description

Problem: Restockers instantly request items whenever the inventory amount drops. This often leads to a bunch of 1-item packages being sent. When you have many restockers, this can overload the frogport(s) that send the items (e.g. fuel), as they can only send ~1 package per second.

Suggestion: Make the restocker work like the threshold switch, for example set coal amount to 32-64. While in this range, the restocker does nothing. When it drops below 32, it requests enough to bring it to 64. With this example config, the number of packages sent is reduced by a factor of 32.

Discord suggestion: https://discord.com/channels/620934202875183104/620937151915360268/1480589320829272215

I created a Github issue to keep track of the suggestion and to ask if/how I can contribute this, if the maintainers creators agree with it. My idea was to start from an UI like the one already used by the threshold and adapt it to the restocker (mockup):
