Not a Breaking change

Description:

This PR adds an availability_template option to Template Switch platform.

By defining the availability_template the availability of a Template Switch can be controlled using a template.

As Template Components rely on other component states, (i.e. they do not have state themselves) it would be useful to also be able to control when a component is unavailable. e.g. when a component that the template component relies on to function becomes 'unavailable' it would be useful to be able to mark the template component as 'unavailable' also.

If the availability_template is not configured, the device will always be 'available' (default behavior)

If the availability_template is configured, the device will be 'available' if the template returns true or 'unavailable' if the template returns any other value.

home-assistant/home-assistant.io#10310

Example entry for configuration.yaml (if applicable):

For a Template Switch platform component that requires a 'switch.some_sensor' to be available to operate:

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      my_switch:
        availability_template: >-
          {%- if not is_state("switch.some_sensor", "unavailable") %}
            true
          {%- endif %}
