Unifi integration power consumption sensor's entity category is diagnostic

[yuliwilliam]

The problem

There are four sensors defined in the file homeassistant/components/unifi/sensor.py that have device_class=SensorDeviceClass.POWER, i.e. PoE port power sensor, Outlet power metering, SmartPower AC power budget and SmartPower AC power consumption.

The entity category of those sensors are entity_category=EntityCategory.DIAGNOSTIC. My understanding is with this sensor category statistic won't be collected, and therefore prevent user from adding the entities to the Energy dashboard or create a statistic graph card. (Would be good to have a power summation entity as well)
