Ability to order, count and issue stock in terms of pack size #1554

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users in a number of countries are used to ordering many medicines in terms of number of 'Catalogue' packs, rather than actual quantity. The Catalogue pack size = mSupply default pack size.

mSupply Mobile (and requisitions handling in mSupply desktop) currently can only handle actual quantities.

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

No real alternative that I can think of.

Additional context

mSupply Mobile requisitions with pack size will need to play nicely with other mobile stores and with Desktop requisition handling which also needs this feature - refer https://github.com/sussol/msupply/issues/4027

Possibly both desktop and mobile need to be upgraded simultaneously before they sync to each other. Alternatively, requisitions / CIs are processed as actual quantities and then default pack sizes are 'applied' at the other store... Sounds messy and error prone to me.
