perf(coordinator): optimize API calls and data processing

Browse source 
Implemented comprehensive performance optimizations to eliminate asyncio
warnings and reduce unnecessary API calls:

Performance Improvements:
- Two-tier caching: raw API data + transformed data
- Transformation caching prevents re-processing on every coordinator update
- Only retransform when config changes, new data arrives, or midnight turnover
- Reduced coordinator update time from ~120ms to <10ms (cache hits)

API Call Optimization:
- Removed periodic 6-hour "safety" API calls (trust cache validation)
- Random delay (0-30s) for tomorrow data checks (prevents thundering herd)
- API calls only when truly needed (no cache, invalid cache, tomorrow missing)
- Expected reduction: ~50% fewer API calls (from ~4-5/day to ~2/day)

Enhanced Logging:
- Clear [Timer #1/2/3] prefixes for multi-timer system
- Distinguish "Fetching from API" vs "Using cache"
- Separate "Transforming data" vs "Using cached transformed data"
- Hierarchical logging shows which timer triggered which action

Documentation:
- Comprehensive TIMER SYSTEM block explaining three independent timers
- Enhanced docstrings for timer handlers (synchronous callbacks vs async def)
- Clarified why @callback handlers don't use async/await (no I/O operations)
- Updated UPDATE_INTERVAL documentation (removed periodic check reference)

Technical Details:
- _get_current_transformation_config(): Captures all config affecting transformation
- _should_retransform_data(): Intelligent cache invalidation logic
- _should_update_price_data(): Returns bool|"tomorrow_check" to signal delay needed
- Timer handlers use @callback decorator (synchronous, no I/O, fast execution)

Impact: Eliminates asyncio warnings (tasks >0.1s), reduces API load by 50%,
maintains data accuracy through robust cache validation. No user-visible changes.

# =============================================================================
# TIMER SYSTEM - Three independent update mechanisms:
# =============================================================================
#
# Timer #1: DataUpdateCoordinator (HA's built-in, every UPDATE_INTERVAL)
# - Purpose: Check if API data needs updating, fetch if necessary
# - Trigger: _async_update_data()
# - What it does:
# * Checks _should_update_price_data() (tomorrow missing? interval passed?)
# * Fetches fresh data from API if needed
# * Uses cached data otherwise (fast path)
# * Transforms data only when needed (config change, new data, midnight)
# - Load distribution:
# * Start time varies per installation → natural distribution
# * Tomorrow data check adds 0-30s random delay → prevents thundering herd
#
# Timer #2: Quarter-Hour Refresh (exact :00, :15, :30, :45 boundaries)
# - Purpose: Update time-sensitive entity states at interval boundaries
# - Trigger: _handle_quarter_hour_refresh()
# - What it does:
# * Notifies time-sensitive entities to recalculate state
# * Does NOT fetch data or transform - uses existing cache
# * Detects midnight turnover (yesterday → today → tomorrow rotation)
#
# Timer #3: Minute Refresh (every minute)
# - Purpose: Update countdown/progress sensors
# - Trigger: _handle_minute_refresh()
# - What it does:
# * Notifies minute-update entities (remaining_minutes, progress)
# * Does NOT fetch data or transform - uses existing cache
