Wrong use of "option" instead of "entity" for Humidifier

[NoRi2909]

The problem

In the string

 component::generic_hygrostat::config::step::user::data_description::min_cycle_duration

the word "option" should be replaced by "entity":

"Set a minimum amount of time that the switch specified in the humidifier option must be in its current state prior to being switched either off or on."

For consistency the corresponding description for a generic thermostat should also be reworded:

 component::generic_thermostat::config::step::user::data_description::min_cycle_duration

"Set a minimum amount of time that the switch specified must be in its current state prior to being switched either off or on. This option will be ignored if the keep alive option is set."

to

"Set a minimum amount of time that the switch specified in the climate entity must be in its current state prior to being switched either off or on."

Please verify if the second sentence after that one is still valid, I don't see that "Keep alive" option when creating a generic thermostat helper.

@NoRi2909 I see that you have a few issues around translations. Is there a way I can help you set up a development environment and help you with creating your own PRs? This way you don't have to create issues but can just directly fix the problem, which goes a lot quicker :)

@joostlek For the moment I'm just happy that I was able to dig through that endless pile of inconsistent and misleading German translations in Lokalise. ;)

I will take a break the next days as this was certainly over 1000 changes across Core, Frontend and mainly Android in one week. Now I'll wait for the next betas to see if I did brake or overlook something. It was just necessary to make everything as consistent as possible so we don't end up triggering rollbacks in some places.

I will definitely try to do my own PRs in the future to simplify the process for you guys and me, but for the next days learning to master Github would be too much for me.

So thank you very much for your kind offer to help me with that, I will come back to that in the next weeks, OK?

I mean, don't get me wrong, you're doing an awesome job. So once you're ready for it, feel free to hit me up on discord and I can see what we can do to help you :)
