Re-introduced date/time and day of week as disabled entities, so users can manually enable them if they desire.

Note: if the entities still exist in HA, they will stay enabled, the user can disable them if that is the desired outcome.

I have an automation that uses the date/time from the spa, and updates the time if it drifts too far... Also helpful for day light saving adjustments. I use this in my configuration.yaml to stop the HA logs from being spammed:

recorder:
  exclude:
    entities:
      - text.espa_date_time

logbook:
  exclude:
    entities:
      - text.espa_date_time

… default

In hindsight there is a better way of dealing with this. Have people disable the entities in HA if they do not want them. I'l revert the change to date time and we should be able to skip this. Thoughts?

I'm happy with this not being merged, as long as we retain the date/time and day of week attributes. I added this, as these were removed :) - these have been reinstated in loop()-Refactor branch. So this can be closed.
