Added documentation for new sensor component distance_uart

Description:

This adds the documentation for the new distance_uart component, which provides a unified driver for various UART-based ultrasonic distance sensors (A01, A02, A06, etc.). It replaces and supersedes the deprecated a01nyub and a02yyuw components.

New Component Images

If you are adding a new component to ESPHome, you can automatically generate a standardized black and white component name image for the documentation.

To generate a component image:

  1. Comment on this pull request with the following command, replacing component_name with your component name in lower_case format with underscores (e.g., bme280, sht3x, dallas_temp):

    @esphomebot generate image component_name
    
  2. The ESPHome bot will respond with a downloadable ZIP file containing the SVG image.

  3. Extract the SVG file and place it in the /static/images/ folder of this repository.

  4. Use the image in your component's index table entry in /components/_index.md.

Example: For a component called "DHT22 Temperature Sensor", use:

@esphomebot generate image dht22
