EMHASS version 0.12.8

This release comes with a special improvement for weather forecast, we are replacing the scrapper method with a new method using the Open-Meteo API: https://open-meteo.com/
This API provides high resolution forecasts at 15min intervals for any location in the world.
A big improvement to obtain accurate PV production forecasts.

Improvement

• Added a new method for weather forecast: open-meteo. This offers a very nice API to obtain weather forecasts. We are dropping the old scrapper method, if you were using the scapper method you just need to change the Weather forecast method to open-meteo
• Added support to device_class definition when posting sensors to HA. Thanks to @paulhomes for this contribution
• Improved github workflow Python testing
• Updated documentation

Fix

• Fixed TZ shift issue when using the typical load power forecaster

What's Changed

• Init caching by @GeoDerp in #472
• feat(forecast-cache): add caching to solar-forecast by @GeoDerp in #474
• Added device_class for sensors published to Home Assistant by @paulhomes in #471
• Implementing open-meteo API by @davidusb-geek in #469
