Auto-wrap static strings in ESPHOME_F() via templatable()

Move FlashStringLiteral wrapping from per-component manual code into
cg.templatable() itself. When output_type is std::string and the value
is a static string (not a lambda), it is automatically wrapped in
ESPHOME_F() for PROGMEM storage on ESP8266. On other platforms
ESPHOME_F() is a no-op returning const char*.

This makes all ~50 existing cg.templatable(..., cg.std_string) call
sites across every component benefit automatically, with no
per-component changes needed.

Simplify api/__init__.py by switching from output_type=None to
cg.std_string and removing the manual isinstance/FlashStringLiteral
checks that are now redundant.
