Add ability to change from 2 point set temperature to 1 on the fly #2271

Creating this after discussing this on a thread in the esphome server

Currently, there's a flag that's set only when the esp32 is first connected to let home assistant know it's going to use 2 set point control.

However, it's possible a device only needs 2 set points in a specific mode and not all the time.

My thermostat for example has heat, cool and heat_cool modes. heat_cool is the only mode that requires 2 set points.

It would be nice to be able to change on the fly the ability to set 2 points and revert back to 1 when 2 is not needed. I am currently using a cloud based home assistant econet integration that can do this in home assistant. For feature parity it would be nice for esphome to support this as well.

Esphome server thread reference.

Currently working on a new component and was looking at adding dual-setpoint for auto mode, but not sure forcing dual setpoints for all modes is the best user experience.
