Add manual_control_on_external_turn_on option (#1490)

Browse source 
* feat: add `adapt_only_on_ha_turn_on` to skip adapting externally turned-on lights

When a light turns on from `off` via a source outside Home Assistant — a
physical wall switch or a hub/manufacturer scene (e.g. Lutron) — and
`detect_non_ha_changes` is enabled, Adaptive Lighting adapts the light on the
resulting `off` → `on` event, overriding the brightness/color the external
source just set. Disabling `detect_non_ha_changes` avoids this but also stops
detection of manual changes to already-on lights; the two behaviors were
coupled to a single flag.

Add `adapt_only_on_ha_turn_on` (default `false`, requires `take_over_control`).
When enabled, an `off` → `on` transition with no matching HA `light.turn_on`
context is marked `manual_control` and left untouched, independent of
`detect_non_ha_changes`, decoupling the two behaviors.

The off→on guard reduces to the previous expression when the option is `false`,
so existing configurations are unaffected. Includes a parametrized regression
test, docs, and regenerated strings/services/README via
scripts/update-generated-content.

### manual_control_on_external_turn_on
When enabled, a turn-on without a state-change context matching the latest recorded Home Assistant `light.turn_on` is treated as manual control. This pauses brightness and color adaptation until manual control resets, rather than skipping just the first adjustment. The usual off/on, explicit reset, and configured timeout rules apply. A later unmatched turn-on marks the light manually controlled again.
Manual-control flags are shared by profiles controlling the same light. Use the same turn-on policy on those profiles; mixed policies can allow an earlier profile to adapt before another marks the light manually controlled.
Enable this if you want turn-ons from physical controls or native scenes to preserve their brightness and color. To adapt unmatched turn-ons, leave this disabled and enable `detect_non_ha_changes`.
Its advantage over simply disabling `detect_non_ha_changes` is that the two behaviors are decoupled: you can keep `detect_non_ha_changes: true` to catch manual dimming of lights that are *already on*, while leaving unmatched turn-ons untouched.
Adaptive Lighting cannot identify every physical versus Home Assistant source. Some integrations replace or omit the service context when they publish device state. In that case, even a Home Assistant turn-on does not match and this option treats it as external.
```yaml
adaptive_lighting:
- name: "Respect physical switches and Lutron scenes"
lights:
- light.living_room
take_over_control: true
detect_non_ha_changes: true # still catch manual changes to already-on lights
manual_control_on_external_turn_on: true # leave unmatched off→on events unchanged
```
## Checking Manual Control Status
You can see which lights are marked as manually controlled by checking the switch attributes:
