Remap valides alexa input names to friendly input names

[BenoitAnastay]

Home Assistant release with the issue: version: 0.103.6

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

arch: armv7
channel: stable
hassos: "2.12"
homeassistant: 0.103.6
hostname: hassio
logging: info
machine: raspberrypi2
supervisor: "195"
supported_arch:
- armv7

timezone: Europe/Paris

Integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/webostv/ https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa/

Description of problem: Can't switch to HDMI port if a friendly name was set

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

media_player:
  - platform: webostv

Traceback (if applicable):

Additional information: As long as Alexa will not accept friendly name I propose to set a per entity VALID_SOURCE_NAME_MAP to remap friendly name to valid alexa input name ex "PC" -> "HDMI1" or even better if it's possible to automatically resolve it
