Heat/Cool mode with Temperature range and humidity support #21

This PR adds heat/cool operation mode for dualmode generic thermostats with temperature range support.

This allows setting the desired temp range and then forgetting about it - no more switching between heat and cool.

I've been running it for months now and it seems to work pretty well. Thanks for your work on dualmode, it's exactly what people with heat pumps need.

There are a couple of metadata updates to allow things like restarting the plugin without having to restart HA, and there is also the beginnings of humidity support, with support for a humidity sensor, although I haven't yet had the time to make it do anything with the data.

Nice, I started working on the temp range support but ended up scuttling it due to lack of time. I'll take a look real quick and get this merged.

Great README bumps, and agree with skipping humidity until it is used. Merged!
