Adding some documentation for the services (#7356)

Browse Source 
As nowhere do we document `homeassistant.update_entity`, or the other `homeassistant` services, it seems overdue that we actually document them.

### {% linkable_title `homeassistant` services %}
There are four `homeassistant` services that aren't tied to any single domain, these are:
* `homeassistant.turn_on` - Turns on an entity (that supports being turned on), for example an `automation`, `switch`, etc
* `homeassistant.turn_off` - Turns off an entity (that supports being turned off), for example an `automation`, `switch`, etc
* `homeassistant.toggle` - Turns off an entity that is on, or turns on an entity that is off (that supports being turned on and off)
* `homeassistant.update_entity` - Request the update of an entity, rather than waiting for the next scheduled update, for example [google travel time] sensor, a [template sensor], or a [light]
