'Change device type of a switch' dialog should behave consistently with corresponding entity dialog

[NoRi2909]

The problem

When you create a Helper of type 'Change device type of a switch' you get the following dialog:

For Invert state it says: "… only supported for cover, lock and valve."

But the New Type popup right below also offers fan, light and siren in addition. This is misleading as the order of the UI elements contradicts this. They should influence each other top to bottom and left to right.

The Invert state toggle should be placed below the New Type popup. This should then disable or hide the toggle if an unsupported type is selected, and switch the explanation.

The entity dialog already does this perfectly and its behavior just needs to be copied over to the creation dialog:

To reproduce create a 'Change device type of a switch' , then open its settings dialog. There everything behaves correctly.
