fix: use quantization-aware comparison in skip_redundant_commands filter (#1513)

* fix: use quantization-aware comparison in skip_redundant_commands filter

_remove_redundant_attributes() compared target values against light state
with exact equality, but many targets can never round-trip exactly through
a device with coarser resolution:

- brightness: HA's 0-255 scale vs the 0-99 Z-Wave Multilevel Switch scale
  leaves 156 of 255 targets that never converge (e.g. 230 -> 89 -> 229),
- color_temp_kelvin: the kelvin -> mired -> kelvin round trip leaves most
  kelvin targets off by up to ~21 K at 6500 K (e.g. 5500 -> 182 -> 5495).

Such attributes survived the filter and were re-sent every interval
forever, which on larger Z-Wave meshes is enough to jam the controller.

Compare brightness with a tolerance of 2 (the exact worst case of the
0-99 scale) and color temperature in mired space, where devices actually
quantize and where the comparison is exact at every kelvin value. Both
are far below the manual-control detection thresholds
(BRIGHTNESS_CHANGE = 25, COLOR_TEMP_CHANGE = 100), so they cannot mask a
genuine user change.

Fixes #1512

* fix: tolerate one mired to cover both floor- and round-based conversions

The previous exact mired equality assumed round-based kelvin<->mired
conversion, but HA core's color_temperature_kelvin_to_mired() and
color_temperature_mired_to_kelvin() both use math.floor, under which a
target like 5500 K comes back as 5524 K in a different rounded mired
bucket and would never be filtered. Flooring in the comparison instead
would merely flip the failure onto integrations that round.

Comparing with a tolerance of one mired converges for both conversion
schemes (verified by brute force over 1000-10000 K: zero stuck targets
under either pipeline) and can hide at most ~2 mireds, far below the
~5.5 mired just-noticeable difference for color temperature.
