• Add encoder calibration documentation docs.amdc.dev#103

We are preparing an article for docs.amdc.dev on how to use the encoder interface in Severson-Group/docs.amdc.dev#103. As part of preparing this article, we realized that the AMDC has a series of encoder functions (i.e. encoder_set_pulses_per_rev()) that refer to pulses when they should refer to counts. See these comments:

• Add encoder calibration documentation docs.amdc.dev#103 (comment)
• Add encoder calibration documentation docs.amdc.dev#103 (comment)

That is, we wish to change functions like encoder_set_pulses_per_rev() to be named encoder_set_counts_per_rev().

The distinction between pulses and counts are explained in the AMDC's encoder subsystem documentation.

Approach

• Compile a list of what C functions and FPGA HDL need changing.
• Decide if we are going to do this as a graceful change (we keep the old user API functions, but display compiler warnings that they are deprecated and will be removed in a future major release, and have the old functions call the new functions) OR if we rip the bandaid off and force everyone to upgrade their function names
• Decide if we want to include this in the upcoming release (i.e., release at the same time as adding AMDS daisy chain support?)

Close this issue via a PR that renames the functions.
