Migrate entities and glance card state_color to color

[piitaya]

Breaking change

The entities card now colors icons based on the entity state by default, like the glance, tile and button cards. Previously, only light icons were colored unless state_color: true was set. To restore the previous look, set color: none on the card.

For custom card developers: the color property of state-badge now follows the color API (state, none, theme colors applied while the entity is active) instead of being a raw CSS color applied unconditionally.

Proposed change

Migrates the entities and glance cards from the boolean state_color option to the color option (state, none or a color) already used by badges, heading badges and the button card. Replaces #52294.

• state_color keeps working and is migrated to color when a card is edited, for the card and all built-in rows (custom rows are left untouched).
• The color can now also be set per entity, both in YAML and in the editors, with the card value acting as the default.
• state-badge is the single place resolving the color option; cards and rows just forward it.

Longstanding wish to have state_color: true be default.

Also for glance. So thanks for this.
