🔁 repeat_on: repeat an entity config over an array

You can now fan out a single entity configuration into multiple “virtual items” based on an array returned by a template.

• Add repeat_on to an entity entry.
• The repeat_on template should return an array (e.g., an attribute that contains a list of objects).
• The card will render one ticker item per array element.

This unlocks use cases like:

• Weather alert lists (attribute arrays)
• To-do lists
• Forecast arrays

🧩 Template variables (available when repeat_on is used)

When an entity uses repeat_on, the following variables are injected into templates:

• 🧱 item — the current array element (often an object)
• 🔢 index — the 0-based index of the item
• 🏷️ entity — the entity id of the source entity (e.g., sensor.nws_alerts)
• 📦 stateObj — the full state object for that entity

These variables can be used in:

• visible_if
• value_template
• name
• unit
• Color fields (*_color, badge_*), and icon

📨 Message if template is empty

• you can use empty_message in case your template may returns null for a while.

👁️ Visibility semantics

• ✅ visible_if is evaluated per item (using item, index, etc.).
• 🚫 If repeat_on returns undefined, null, false, an empty string, or an empty array, the entity produces no items (it will not be visible).

🛠️ Editor

• 🧰 Added a new UI field in the entity editor:

  • “Repeat on (template returns array)”

✅ Backwards compatibility

• Existing configurations without repeat_on continue to behave as before.
• repeat_on is optional; when omitted, the entity renders as a single item.
