HA Discovery fix: energy-cost sensors are always-available
The energy-cost device has only sensors (no online/offline heartbeat), but the discovery config still declared an availability topic that nothing ever publishes 'online' to — so Home Assistant marked every energy-cost entity 'unavailable' even though the state topic was being published (visible in MQTT Explorer). - DeviceInfo gains provides_availability (default True, keeps Modbus behavior). - _energy_cost_provider sets provides_availability=False. - build_discovery_payload only emits availability/availability_mode for devices that publish a heartbeat; HA treats the rest as always-available. - Test asserts energy-cost configs omit availability.
