Add binary sensor types

[abstractionnl]

Add support for marking sensors as binary ON/OFF sensors.

@jay-oswald can you please review schema.json

Looks good.

Though if were adding type I think we need to either make it required, or default it in the merge.js code (since 90%+ will be sensor)

I made this property optional during parse, so it does not need to be required.

Yeah, but that can just make things more confusing it means the default has to be applied in the WiCAN FW, easier to just apply it at this level instead. We can leave it optional for each profile, but then I'd prefer it be defaulted in the merge.js file, so WiCAN can rely on it being there.

The C code is low level, and very limited resources, so the more we can do in this JS the less that has to be done in C

A null check is probably less load for the ESP than having to parse the element and compare it to another string. It also removes some redundant bytes from the json file which should also reduce storage and memory pressure.
