J. Nick Koston 0b2f79480b [api] Use StringRef for user service string arguments ...

Replace std::string with StringRef (non-owning string view) for
user service string arguments in YAML-generated services. This
avoids unnecessary heap allocation when the protobuf decode buffer
already contains the string data.

Key changes:
- Frame helpers reserve +1 byte in rx_buf_ so string fields can be
  safely null-terminated in-place after decode
- Add (null_terminate) protobuf field option to target only fields
  that need it (ExecuteServiceArgument.string_ and
  HomeAssistantStateResponse.state)
- Add StringRef template specializations for get_execute_arg_value
  and to_service_arg_type
- Python codegen uses StringRef for string service args, with
  automatic std::string fallback when deferred actions (delay,
  wait_until, script.wait) are present in the action chain
- Add deferred flag to action registry for detecting actions that
  store trigger args for later execution
- Simplify HomeAssistantStateResponse handler by removing
  SmallBufferWithHeapFallback copy (state is null-terminated
  in-place)
- Add compare() method to StringRef for external component
  compatibility

Saves ~240 bytes of flash on ESP8266 by eliminating std::string
template instantiations for user service string arguments.
