Compile issues with recent ESPHome versions fixed:

  - An error about toolchain-riscv32-esp not being found (the PlatformIO tool manager
    tries to install this one, even though the lamp is an ESP32 device and not riscv).
  - On systems for which the above toolchain could be found, compilation would fail
    with an error about `esp_mac.h` not being found.

- Fixed transitioning from the off to on state. Thanks to @marcel1988 for informing
  me about his non-functional wake-up light script. Before this fix, the light would
  stay off during the full transformation, only to turn on at the very end.
- The `on_brightness` trigger is now also called at the start of a transition.
  This fixes a problem with the brightness slider illumination not following along
  when you slide your finger over it.
- Suppressing a transition time for transitioning to a night light color is now
  only instant when starting from a night light setting. Before this change, moving
  from for example 80% brightness to 1% brightness (i.e. night light), would be
  instant. Now an actual transformation is done.

* New light transformer implementation
* Fixed missing ; in the code, thanks Jos!
* Removed backward compatibility code for v1.20.x (because there were too many other changes that broke the build, and for which creating a work-around was not feasible).
* Fixed duplicate api section in the example.yaml (thanks @badbroechten\!) and updated the example to not use an underscore in the hostname.
* Prepare for release

* Implemented compatibility with color mode support in the latest Home Assistant + ESPHome.

* Made the code compile with both v1.20.* and v.1.21.0.

* Made the code compile with both v1.20.* and v.1.21.0.
