Camera Image refreshed every time an entity listed for update refresh #107

Release with the issue: 1.3.6

Last working release (if known): N.A.

Browser and Operating System: Chrome & Unix

Description of problem: I have listed a lot of entities below "entities" tag and some of them refreshes even every 2 seconds... The problem is that the camera images below this config template card, (that are not listed into the entities to be refreshed), every time the update is triggered, are reloaded... and I see constantly the empty box with the loading circle... so the camera images are constantly reloaded even if they should not...

This is not a bug. Assume you got a history-graph inside config-template-card (CTC):

type: custom:config-template-card
entities:
  - sensor.my_sensor
card:
  - type: history-graph
    hours_to_show: 72
    entities:
      - sensor.my_sensor

This graph will be fully redrawn every time the sensor.my_sensor changes. If not placed inside CTC then the graph just updates a graph's line.

"Solution" - do not place camera image inside CTC.
