Julian Pawlowski 51a99980df feat(sensors)!: add configurable median/mean display for average sensors
Add user-configurable option to choose between median and arithmetic mean
as the displayed value for all 14 average price sensors, with the alternate
value exposed as attribute.

BREAKING CHANGE: Average sensor default changed from arithmetic mean to
median. Users who rely on arithmetic mean behavior may use the price_mean attribue now, or must manually reconfigure
via Settings → Devices & Services → Tibber Prices → Configure → General
Settings → "Average Sensor Display" → Select "Arithmetic Mean" to get this as sensor state.

Affected sensors (14 total):
- Daily averages: average_price_today, average_price_tomorrow
- 24h windows: trailing_price_average, leading_price_average
- Rolling hour: current_hour_average_price, next_hour_average_price
- Future forecasts: next_avg_3h, next_avg_6h, next_avg_9h, next_avg_12h

Implementation:
- All average calculators now return (mean, median) tuples
- User preference controls which value appears in sensor state
- Alternate value automatically added to attributes
- Period statistics (best_price/peak_price) extended with both values

Technical changes:
- New config option: CONF_AVERAGE_SENSOR_DISPLAY (default: "median")
- Calculator functions return tuples: (avg, median)
- Attribute builders: add_alternate_average_attribute() helper function
- Period statistics: price_avg → price_mean + price_median
- Translations: Updated all 5 languages (de, en, nb, nl, sv)
- Documentation: AGENTS.md, period-calculation.md, recorder-optimization.md

Migration path:
Users can switch back to arithmetic mean via:
Settings → Integrations → Tibber Prices → Configure
→ General Settings → "Average Sensor Display" → "Arithmetic Mean"

Impact: Median is more resistant to price spikes, providing more stable
automation triggers. Statistical analysis from coordinator still uses
arithmetic mean (e.g., trailing_avg_24h for rating calculations).

Sensor platform-specific helper functions.
This module contains helper functions specific to the sensor platform:
- aggregate_price_data: Calculate average price from window data
- aggregate_level_data: Aggregate price levels from intervals
- aggregate_rating_data: Aggregate price ratings from intervals
- aggregate_window_data: Unified aggregation based on value type
- get_hourly_price_value: Get price for specific hour with offset
For shared helper functions (used by both sensor and binary_sensor platforms),
see entity_utils/helpers.py:
- get_price_value: Price unit conversion
- translate_level: Price level translation
- translate_rating_level: Rating level translation
- find_rolling_hour_center_index: Rolling hour window calculations
