Notation like Home Assistant, each screen in its own language, and the language in every build

From the end-to-end test on the bench boards and an independent review:
- Units spaced as Home Assistant does (54% / 54 % in German and French, 18°, 21.5 °C), in the firmware and the app.
- Grouping from five digits where the language does (1234 but 12.345 in Spanish, Polish, Portuguese): the layout
  message carries group_min and percent_space; an unknown number style no longer refuses a layout.
- Automatic follows Home Assistant's own language for the clock and numbers, also without a translation (Swedish:
  24 hours, 1 234,5; pt-BR: 1.234,5): regions.json from the CLDR for all 63 languages Home Assistant offers.
- 12-hour clock: the top bar says 3:48 PM, the clock card 3:48 (not 03:48), Last runs follow the clock.
- The climate setpoint font has the decimal comma; the value fonts have ², ³ and µ (m³ was a box).
- Weather days: at most three letters without the dot (mié, sáb, czw); the screen took three bytes.
- Texts fall back per key through the base language (pt-BR -> pt -> en) in the firmware and the app.
- Each screen gets the app's words in the language its firmware speaks; firmware from before the languages gets
  English and its own letters, not boxes.
- set_language re-reads what it writes (indentation, comments, quoted keys, CRLF, !include) and every build writes
  the language first; the 24-hour pin no longer hits a fresh install and waits for the old clock switches.
- Tests: region and notation, plural parity with the C++ rules, set_language edge cases, the pin, PUT /api/language.

**In Home Assistant** (firmware 0.2.49+), every setting is an entity on the screen's device, under
*Configuration*: `number.<screen>_normal_brightness`, `switch.<screen>_night_mode`,
`time.<screen>_night_starts`, `switch.<screen>_24_hour_clock`, `select.<screen>_rotation` on a
`time.<screen>_night_starts`, `switch.<screen>_dark_mode`, `select.<screen>_rotation` on a
Guition, and the rest. An automation, the settings page and ESP Screens all change the same value,
and setting a value the screen already has costs nothing. The full list is in
[docs/SETTINGS.md](docs/SETTINGS.md#who-owns-a-setting).
