feat(prediction): add Forecast.Solar PV forecast provider

Add PVForecastForecastSolar, a PV forecast provider for the free Forecast.Solar
API (https://forecast.solar), giving operators a no-account forecast source in
addition to Akkudoktor, VRM, Import and pvnode. An optional API key raises the
rate limit.

result.watts is the instantaneous AC power per timestamp, fed directly as
pvforecast_ac_power. Plants with several roof planes issue one request per plane
(Forecast.Solar is single-plane) and the powers are summed per timestamp.
Forecast.Solar azimuth (-180=N..0=S..90=W) is converted from EOS surface_azimuth
(north=0..south=180); local wall-clock timestamps are resolved via the response
timezone before resampling.

Registered in pvforecast.py and prediction.py. Adds tests for timezone
resolution, azimuth conversion, multi-plane summation and HTTP-error handling.

"""Retrieves PV forecast data from the Forecast.Solar API.
Forecast.Solar (https://forecast.solar) is a free public PV forecast service
(no API key required; an optional key raises the rate/feature limits). Each
request covers a single plane:
GET https://api.forecast.solar[/{api_key}]/estimate/{lat}/{lon}/{dec}/{az}/{kwp}
``result.watts`` is the instantaneous AC power per timestamp — exactly what the
optimizer consumes as ``pvforecast_ac_power``. EOS plants with several roof
planes issue one request per plane and the instantaneous powers are summed per
timestamp.
Note on conventions:
- Forecast.Solar azimuth is -180=N, -90=E, 0=S, 90=W, whereas EOS
``surface_azimuth`` is north=0, east=90, south=180, west=270. The provider
converts via ``az = surface_azimuth - 180``.
- Response timestamps are local wall-clock; ``message.info.timezone`` is used
to resolve them to absolute instants before EOS resamples them.
