Remove required serial number from topic configuration #138

Hi all

I took me several hours to set up the integration because it's expected that the serial number of the charger is appended to the MQTT topic. So please make the serial number optional or mention in the documentation that the serial number must be part of the MQTT topic. In case of serial number 999999, you have to configure a topic prefix like /go-eCharger/999999/ in the mobile app of the charger. If you use any other topic structure that does not include a 6-digit number, it won't work.

My goal is to get rid of the different required parts to concatenate the topic. In future the topic will be configurable and there will be no need for the serial number anymore. In the past the serial number was an inherent part of the topic. This isn't the case anymore which leads to confusion at the moment.

I have the charger running in a different subnet/vllan than the haas server. Where do I have to enter the IP address of the charger
