Skip battery entity creation when the FoxESS API reports hasBattery=false. Adds optional hasBattery config override. Reduces log noise for solar-only systems going offline at night.

The integration uses the FoxESS Cloud API (foxesscloud.com), not local device communication.
Add config flow so the integration can be set up via the HA UI. The setup step collects API key, device serial number, and name, then validates against the FoxESS Cloud API. Battery status is auto-detected from the API response and exposed as an option toggle alongside extended PV and Evo inverter mode. Existing YAML configurations continue to work unchanged.

I just found this after submitting my own config_flow PR #369. Looks like there's demand for such a feature! |

Adds config flow support so the integration can be set up through the Home Assistant UI instead of requiring
configuration.yaml. Related to #199.The setup basically mimics the YAML inputs, and does some checks before accepting them.
If a YAML platform config is already active, the flow aborts with a message asking the user to remove it first. Existing YAML setups continue to work without changes.
Depends on #348 (solar-only support).
Tested end-to-end on a live HA instance.
