In IFC4X3 IfcQuantityCount is now more strict and requires only interger values.
Error for a reference:
TypeError: attribute 'CountValue' for entity 'IFC4X3.IfcQuantityCount' is expecting value of type 'INT', got 'float'.

I'll attach example .csv and .ifc in #4704
What changed:
1) If query was provided but it didn't found any elements, then it will still autoassign quantity = 0 instead of cost item end up without quantities at all (which has a different meaning in ifc). Works both with Property provided and without it.
2) If provided quantity = 0, it will now load as quantity = 0 instead of not creating any quantities at all.
3) You can provide both Query and Quantity and they all will be added to the cost item. E.g. if Quantity = 15, Query = "IfcWall", Property="Prop" and there are 3 walls in the model each having Prop = 25 then final quantity will be 15+25*3=90. Previously Quantity would take the priority and the result would be just = 15.
Though this is still doesn't work with counting quantities due behaviour in cost.assign_cost_item_quantity.
E.g. if Quantity = 7, Query = "IfcWall", Property="" (to make sure it will just count them) and there are 3 walls in the model then final quantity will be not 7+3=10 but just = 3, as query will take the priority here.
order of objects in .RelatedObjects is important (e.g. for cost items, it's the order of their appearance), so we should maintain it and cannot use sets for .RelatedObjects
After ab5ea4c85 it was always throwing wrong singature errors like below even if TypeError was caused by some internal issues inside API - it was adding couple extra steps to traceback making errors more noisy.
TypeError: Incorrect function arguments provided for library.edit_library
attribute 'VersionDate' for entity 'IFC2X3.IfcLibraryInformation' is expecting value of type 'ENTITY INSTANCE', got 'str'.. You specified args (<ifcopenshell.file.file object at 0x0000027EB8E6BCD0>,) and settings {'library': #1=IfcLibraryInformation('Name','Version',$,$,$), 'attributes': {'Name': 'Name', 'Version': 'Version', 'VersionDate': 'VersionDate', 'Location': 'Location', 'Description': 'Description'}}

Correct signature is (file: ifcopenshell.file.file, library: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance, attributes: dict[str, typing.Any]) -> None
See help(ifcopenshell.api.library.edit_library) for documentation.
