JBL Charge 5 v0.2.0

New entities (all over the verified BLE control protocol, via a connectable ESPHome Bluetooth proxy):

  • 🔔 Play sound button — make the speaker beep to find it
  • 🎚️ Feedback tones switch — enable/disable the speaker beeps
  • 🔀 Audio channel select — Mono / Left / Right for PartyBoost stereo
  • 🏷️ Model and Bluetooth MAC diagnostic sensors

Plus:

  • 🟧 Brand icons & logo generated from the JBL logo (in custom_components/jbl_charge5/brand/)
  • 🌍 English + Brazilian Portuguese translations
  • ✅ CI: hassfest, HACS validation, tests (ruff + pytest, 22 tests)
  • 📄 MIT license
  • 📖 README documenting the library, the integration, and the required ESP32 ESPHome Bluetooth proxy setup

Existing battery sensor and "in use" binary sensor unchanged.

The Charge 5's control service is BLE-only on a dual-mode device — a connectable ESPHome Bluetooth proxy (ESP32, active connections) near the speaker is required. See the README.
