GE Timed pause support, Manual freeze charge/discharge support, Misc

What's Changed

Features:

• Predbat now supports Timed Pause mode for GivEnergy inverters, this can reduce the amount of "leakage" during Freeze Charge and Freeze Discharge modes. To enable it you must:

a) Have an inverter with support for pause mode, which is the New Firmware on Gen1 inverters or Gen2/Gen3/AIO inverters.
b) Have the 'old firmware' toggle disabled in GivTCP
c) Update your apps.yaml to point to the controls needed. Gen1 inverters do not have the start/end time options so this can be left out but newer inverters do.

  pause_mode:
   - select.givtcp_{geserial}_battery_pause_mode
   - select.givtcp_{geserial2}_battery_pause_mode
  pause_start_time:
   - select.givtcp_{geserial}_battery_pause_start_time_slot
   - select.givtcp2_{geserial2}_battery_pause_start_time_slot
  pause_end_time:
   - select.givtcp_{geserial}_battery_pause_end_time_slot
   - select.givtcp2_{geserial2}_battery_pause_end_time_slot

• Predbat now supports manual override for Freeze Charge and Freeze Discharge by using a selectors select.predbat_manual_freeze_charge and select.predbat_manual_freeze_discharge

• Pause mode support by @springfall2008 in #1017
  • Detect timed pause mode, remove need for set reserve by @springfall2008 in #1023
• Sunsynk inverter support by @springfall2008 in #974

Fixes/misc:

• Possible fix for NoneType round issue by @springfall2008 in #1016
• Documentation improvements by @gcoan in #1011
  • Update README.md by @springfall2008 in #1019
