perf(entities): exclude non-essential attributes from recorder history

Implement _unrecorded_attributes in both sensor and binary_sensor
entities to prevent Home Assistant Recorder database bloat.

Excluded attributes (60-85% size reduction per state):
- Descriptions/help text (static, large strings)
- Large nested structures (periods, trend_attributes, chart data)
- Frequently changing diagnostics (icon_color, cache_age)
- Static/rarely changing config (currency, resolution)
- Temporary/time-bound data (next_api_poll, last_*)
- Redundant/derived data (price_spread, diff_%)

Kept for history analysis:
- timestamp (always first), all price values
- Period timing (start, end, duration_minutes)
- Price statistics (avg, min, max)
- Boolean status flags, relaxation_active

Impact: Reduces attribute size from ~3-8 KB to ~0.5-1.5 KB per state
change. Expected savings: ~1 GB per month for typical installation.
