Breaking changes

Some strings that represent data settings on devices have been changed to make things common for easier translation. Automations that query or set these values will need updating. Also it may take some getting used to the new names in the UI, which may not exactly match the device naming, but should still be close.

The details are as follows:

• climate devices: many preset_mode, fan_mode and some swing_mode values have changed in order to use common translations where possible, or to use the same strings across similar devices to simplify translations.
• humidifier devices: some mode values have changed to use common translations where possible.

Many of these changes are simply using an all lower case version of the string which was previously capitalised.

The HA common values are:

climate.swing_mode: off, on, vertical, horizontal, both
climate.fan_mode: off, on, auto, low, medium, high, top, middle, focus, diffuse
climate.preset_mode: none, eco, away, boost, comfort, home, sleep, activity
humidifier.mode: normal, eco, away, boost, comfort, home, sleep, auto, baby

The above have translations in many languages already built into Home Assistant, so you should straight away see the improvement if your language is not English.

New groupings created where the available options did not fit into the above:

climate.aircon_extra
fan_mode: health, medhigh, medlow, natural, quiet, sleep, strong
swing_mode: topmost, top, middle, down, downmost

climate.thermostat:
fan_mode: cycle
preset_mode: manual, program, temp_override, perm_override

climate.combo_floor:
preset_mode: cool, fan_only, heat, floor_cool, floor_heat

climate.swing_as_powerlevel:
swing_mode: stop, auto (English name changed to "Heating level")

climate.pool_heatpump:
preset_mode: smart_heat, quick_heat, quiet_heat, smart_cool, quick_cool, quiet_cool, auto

All the above values have English translations, but other languages will probably show the original value above.
