Make sun solar_rising a binary_sensor

[karwosts]

Proposed change

A sun sensor for solar_rising has been previously added, but it seems like this maybe should have been a binary sensor instead.

Its only state values are "True" or "False". It is just a mirroring of a boolean attribute.

It has no hints in automation editor for what values are valid. Testing "on", "true", "On", True etc will all give the wrong result for state comparison and may be confusing to users.

This PR adds a binary_sensor that mimics the existing sensor. I'm not sure what should be done with the existing sensor, if we should announce a plan to deprecate it, or just let both coexist, or yank it out with a breaking change.

Both old and new sensor are disabled by default.

Still valid.

Thanks! Since we already have a calculation for this state (rising), I think it's ok to add a binary sensor. It should have been a binary sensor from the beginning instead of a sensor.

Some small comments to address.

Updated as requested. CI fail seems unrelated.
