Component for Balboa Spa

This project is based on the UART reader from Dakoriki/ESPHome-Balboa-Spa

There are a ton of these implementations on Github. None of the ones I could find implemented the external component pattern as prescribed by EspHome. So I create this one.

Climate, sensors, and switches are all optional. So you only need to import what you want with your implementation.

TODO: There is still a bit of clean up and tweaking to be done. I often see sensor values jump around, often to invalid state. I suspect this is either due to the polling frequency or uart config. Or it might just be due to the noisy nature of running next two heaters and pumps.
