Interlock on lights

Describe the enhancement

Similar to how an interlock works for a switch I would like to be able to create an interlock with two lights so both can't be on at the same time.

Not the same as color interlock currently implemented for RGBCW. This would be for two separate lights on the same esphome device.

Use cases

I have Lumary lights which have both a center light and an edge RGB strip nightlight thing - I do not want both of these to be active at the same time.

Using on_turn_on automation to call the light.turn_off of the opposing light component works, but maybe other use cases for a proper interlock capability? Also not sure if there is a case where after reboot they could both restore to on.

Anything else?
