feat: harden Motion Light manual-override and turn-off recovery

- Add motion-off debounce to filter PIR drop-outs
- Treat pre-emptive manual turn-on (from idle) as MANUAL mode
- Recover from external turn-off while motion still active
- Run enable/disable callbacks before turn-on/off for mode:restart safety
- Document brightness-threshold interaction and input_text max_length

## Behavior Notes
- Will NOT turn on light if it's already ON (prevents hijacking user control)
- If user changes light while automation is active, enters MANUAL mode (after grace period)
- Grace period prevents false manual overrides from delayed device state reports (e.g., Zigbee)
- MANUAL mode exits when light is turned OFF (by any means)
- Timeout delay only applies when turning OFF (motion cleared)
- Time conditions support overnight windows (e.g., 22:00 to 06:00)
- Day/Night mode uses separate time window from time conditions
- Will NOT turn on light if it's already ON (prevents hijacking user control).
- If user **changes** the light while automation is active (e.g., dim, color, scene), enters MANUAL mode (after grace period).
- If the user **turns the light ON** while the automation is idle (pre-emptive manual control), it enters MANUAL mode and fires the `manual_action` callback. The `disable_action` callback is **not** run in this case (nothing was enabled to disable).
- If the light is **turned off** by any external source while motion is still active, the automation re-enables it (external turn-off recovery). To intentionally exit the automation, also turn off the corresponding **condition switch** — this routes through the disable path and respects the configured timeouts.
- Grace period prevents false manual overrides from delayed device state reports (e.g., Zigbee) — including stray reports that can follow a turn-off.
- MANUAL mode exits when light is turned OFF (by any means).
- Timeout delay only applies when turning OFF (motion cleared).
- Time conditions support overnight windows (e.g., 22:00 to 06:00).
- Day/Night mode uses separate time window from time conditions.
### Brightness threshold interaction
`brightness_threshold` is checked only when the automation decides whether to **enable**. A light that is on but dimmer than the threshold is treated as "available to take over" — so the automation will run with that light. When the disable path runs, it will turn the light **off** (it does not restore a below-threshold dim state).
### Callback ordering and `mode: restart`
Light state changes feed back into the automation, which uses `mode: restart` to handle rapid bursts. To make sure callbacks aren't silently dropped when the automation restarts mid-action, both `enable_action` and `disable_action` run **before** the corresponding turn-on/turn-off command.
## Requirements
- At least one motion sensor
- `input_text` entity for persistent state storage
- Target light(s), switch(es), group, or area to control
- At least one motion sensor.
- `input_text` entity for persistent state storage. Each automation instance must have its own entity. Increase the entity's `max_length` (default 100) to **at least 255** to leave room for the JSON state — short values can cause silent truncation.
- Target light(s), switch(es), group, or area to control.
