Expose heating mode for NodOn SIN-4-FP-21 and Legrand cable outlet #3553

We should expose the heating/wire mode for the NodOn SIN-4-FP-21 and Legrand cable outlet to Home Assistant. Related PRs:

Concerns were raised that we would not conform to Home Assistant standards by exposing the heating/wire mode of the devices as a select entity. Rather, we should consider having a climate entity. The heating mode would replace the automatically discovered on/off switch entity and the enums would be shown as heating presets.

Zigbee2MQTT just exposes an enum, similar to what's proposed in #3364.

The Legrand device is marketed as a smart power outlet with power consumption monitoring. The NodOn device is a shelly-like module with a full focus on being connected to an electric heater. Both devices seem to be similar software-wise. For the Legrand device, it would be weird removing the existing switch entity for users only utilizing the smart on/off functionality for a non-heating device.

There's been no decision on what we can/want to do yet

I've been following the PR for the NodOn SIN-4-FP-21 that I installed on some heaters in my house. I successfully validated the current switch to turn my heaters on or off but a simple solution to switch between the different modes (comfort, eco, off, etc) would be really useful for my usage!
