Breaking change

• entity-filter cards that specified an entity with a state_filter, and a global condition, will now use the state_filter rules for that entity instead of the condition. Previously those state_filter rules would be ignored.
• entity-filter cards that specified both a global state_filter and a global condition, or had a single entity with a state_filter and a condition, will generate an error. Previously the state_filter would be silently ignored.

Proposed change

• We are currently missing support for the case where there is no global filter, but each entity has a condition line. We currently support this if each entity has a state_filter, but surprisingly no such rule for condition.

• I think it should not be mandated that every entity must have a filter rule, this is unnecessarily restrictive. I feel we should allow a card where some entities don't have a filter (and are always shown), but then other entities may have a filter to be sometimes shown. I have also changed the rules to allow this. Now at least one entity must have an applied condition or filter.

• Previously if we had a global condition, but an individual entity defined a state_filter, that state_filter was ignored. This change always honors the local condition/filter specified on the entity over the global rule. A state_filter or condition on an entity always had priority over a global state_filter, but not over a global condition. This seems inconsistent.

• Add more descriptive errors describing what is wrong with the config. Throw an error if an entity defines both a condition and a state_filter. Previously that state_filter was ignored.
