Feature: Ensure the id of entities is fixed #3

As I read Entity (base class of ClimateDevice), we can implement unique_id() and thereby ensure entities don't change id's when their names are changed.

I'll try making a PR for this, as I need it .. :)

Ok. So providing unique_id did not change the identifiers for entities, as I expected.

EDIT: But all entities are now present in entity registry. So that's always something.
