Description

Add option to always "Force data update" whenever a request sent to vehicle. E.g. when HVAC temp changed through the integration, "force data update". This will to keep the polling low and update all entities whenever there's call from the integration.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing integration code to understand how data updates are currently handled and identify where to add the force update option. Look at the vehicle communication module and the entity update logic.
