plum-ecomax v0.4.2

Foreword

This is another one of these mostly bugfixy and optimizy release that addresses some of the oldest issues encountered by the community and includes some preliminary work for further changes.

Breaking changes

Thermostats (ecoSTERs) have their own sub-devices now, while previously they were added as a part of main ecoMAX device as climate entities. For now this sub-device only contains HA's climate entity, but in the future, it will have more entities added to it, such as timers and schedules. The thermostat device can be used to set thermostat parameters with Set parameter service.
