0.57.0 - Full card click actions, brightness doesn't affect the title, `lights` property bug, flickering and icon color change bugs 🚈 ⚡

Performance and Rendering Improvements

Optimized card re-rendering logic to prevent unnecessary updates. The card now only updates when properties actually change, which fixes several issues:

• Flickering of the card: Eliminated visual flickering caused by excessive re-renders
• Icons not updating their state: Icons now properly update when their state changes
• Performance issues: Reduced unnecessary re-renders significantly improves card performance

Full Card Actions Feature

Added a new full_card_actions feature that makes the entire card clickable. When enabled, an invisible overlay covers the card, creating a larger touch target for your configured tap, hold, and double-tap actions. This is especially useful for mobile devices and dashboard navigation. Enable by adding full_card_actions to your features array. See Action Configuration for more details.

Fixed Unavailable Entity State Issue

Fixed an issue where light entities with an unavailable state would incorrectly hide their active state. Lights that are active will now properly display their active state color even when marked as unavailable when using multi_light_background.

Removed Brightness Filter from Title Text

The title text no longer applies a brightness-based filter, providing a cleaner appearance without automatic brightness adjustments.
