In this PR support for light entities are introduced. Light entities support toggling the light on/off, setting the brightness, setting the color and turning on effects.
This new entity is somewhat more complex than previous entities as it requires more data to be passed in the state payload.
Previously entities did not support setting the schema of the state payload, as states consisted of either "ON"/"OFF". However, lights require passing json formatted data in the state payload. One downside of introducing this is that the "schema" keyword is reserved by the pydantic basemodel. This has been solved by introducing an alias for said keyword. I don't really like this approach but it is probably the easiest way to fix this without tearing up the model hierarchy.
Tests have also been added for the light entity.
README has been updated with a usage example for the new entity.
