Creating empty bid objects for "No bids" responses

Description

Hi guys. I have a question about handling empty bid responses.

In Prebid 0.X.X we had a functionality for creating empty bid objects for all "No bids" responses (fillNoBids method in bidderFactory module). But as I can see it has removed since Prebid 1.0 release. We used this feature to distinguish between available bids and no bids for collecting analytics.

Is there a way to replicate the old behavior in Prebid 1.0?

We did this in an effort to simplify the adapter architecture. Rather than submit no_bids for all possible slots to signal non-participation an adapter needs now to only do nothing. Non-participation could still be inferred in analytics by hearing a bidRequested event for a bidder with no bidResponse from that bidder before the auctionEnd event (and not getting notification of a bidderTimeout with them included).
