J. Nick Koston 87622c9a74 [api] Add max_data_length proto option and optimize entity string encoding
Add a max_data_length field option to api_options.proto for string/bytes
fields. When max_data_length < 128 and force = true, the code generator
uses encode_short_string_force() — a single call that writes the tag
byte, 1-byte length varint, and raw string data with no branching. Size
calculation simplifies from calc_length(1, size) to 2 + size.

Annotate entity fields across all 25 ListEntities*Response messages:
- name and object_id: max_data_length = 120, force = true (50 fields)
- icon: max_data_length = 63 (25 fields)

The 120 and 63 values match NAME_MAX_LENGTH and ICON_MAX_LENGTH in
esphome/core/config.py, validated at config time.

Tests for ESPHome

This directory contains some tests for ESPHome. At the moment, all the tests only work by simply executing esphome over some YAML files that are made to test whether the yaml gets converted to the proper C++ code.

Of course this is all just very high-level and things like unit tests would be much better. So if you have time and know how to set up a unit testing framework for python, please do give it a try.

When adding entries in test_.yaml files we usually need only one file updated, unless conflicting code is generated for different configurations, e.g. wifi and ethernet cannot be tested on the same device.

Current test_.yaml file contents.
