[FR]: Add state_actions that works like state_styles, state_icons and state_text

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to buildd a row of buttons for an irrigation system. One of this buttons is a toggle (play/stop) button. I can make the button show a different icon and style according to state (playing/stopped), but I need to make a different service call according to the state:

Start irrigation:

action: call-service
service: irrigation_unlimited.manual_run
service_data:
  entity_id: binary_sensor.irrigation_unlimited_c1_z1
  time: 00:01:00 #<--- I don't need this param for pausing

Stop irrigation:

action: call-service
service: irrigation_unlimited.cancel
service_data:
  entity_id: binary_sensor.irrigation_unlimited_c1_z1

If I use templates (i.e: putting this card inside a button-card card) I get an error when stopping irrigation because of the extra time field.

Describe the solution you'd like

For my use case, if a value of none makes the time params not being sent in the service call would work for me.

I think a better solution would be to follow the style of state_styles, state_icons and state_text by providing an state_actions that allows you to perform different actions according to the state of the entity.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Putting this card inside a button-card to template the service_data param, but I haven't been able to return a dict that is taken by this card.

Using lovelace-gen seem too much for me just for this card.

Just got it working putting this card inside a button-card card and using js templates, like this:

service_data: |
  [[[
    if (entity.state == 'on') {
      return {
        entity_id: entity.entity_id
      }
    } else {
      return {
        entity_id: entity.entity_id,
        time: '00:00:10'
      }
    }
]]]

I still think state_actions would be a great addition to this card :)

Waiting too. Feature was planned to v2.1.0 almost year ago (see #105).
Hope it will be implemented.
