response_size (Required): Number of bytes of the response

[jansendup]

The documentation of the response_size indicates that this field should limit the size of the response:

response_size (Required): Number of bytes of the response

However when looking at the parse_and_publish implementation it is clear that the response size is not limited: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/blob/e3fbf54a1aafad77ab3125855f21607ed35be74d/esphome/components/modbus_controller/text_sensor/modbus_textsensor.cpp#L16C29-L16C43

I suspect the author forgot to decrement the max_items variable for each response character processed.
