Please provide an option to make the output in counts unit, which would be useful for engineering work.</p> PIPE2D-811

Provide an option to make the unit of `pfsArm` in real counts

Getting a <tt>PfsFiberTrace</tt> is quite convoluted since it was displaced by <tt>PfsFiberProfiles</tt>, so I propose to put a similar method in <tt>PfsFiberProfiles</tt>.</p> <p>I think that <b>not</b> specifying this in the datamodel this was a mistake (presumably mine), and one that we should fix now even if it's painful.  Yes, it may break the pipelines but I think in a moderately trivial way that the CI tests will catch.</p> <p>We simply can't go on the sky with pfsArm files in meaningless units.</p> <p>Moved to <a href="https://pfspipe.ipmu.jp/jira/browse/DAMD-113" title="Write pfsArm in electrons" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="DAMD-113"><del>DAMD-113</del></a>.</p> Relates DAMD-104 Development Rank 0|02qpt6:508yl0chzzy00000yxi Sprint 2DDRP-2021 A5 2DDRP-2021 A 6 Story Points 2.0
