Add warning when requesting user for code from TVs about the screen staying on.

The problem

My OLED TV needed to be sent back for warranty so I decided to factory reset my TV. After that was done, HA decided to notify me that I needed to reconfigure my Android TV integration. I unintentionally clicked reconfigure and the integration requested me to input a new code. Since I needed to return the TV and only readd the replacement TV on my HA I decided to close and ignore the request. I didn't realize that the TV was on and still showing the code requested by HA until a few days later. The TV still works fine, were sending it in for dead pixels, but we decided to not watch TV until we get a new one so no one entered the TV room since I factory reset the TV. Now theres the code and the UI surrounding the code burned into my TV.

I would like to see a warning in both the docs and the UI for anything that requests code from a TV that tells users the TV screen does not change or turn off without user intervention and therefore risks image retention or burn in especially if your TV is an OLED.

(I don't believe adding a warning to the user interface informing the user of possible damage to their devices is a "feature request" from my understanding of English. However if I am mistaken please tell me, as you do not really make clear what goes where, which is why I originally thought this was a UI issue. This should be made more clear and simple especially since HA is going to target the average Walmart shopper going forward and there will be an influx of less technical people in the future.)

Fixing in #117548. The setup flows already mention that the TV will turn on but not the reauth flow.
