Add the setup detail that ViCare is required on the device (#29161)

* Add the setup detail that ViCare is required on the device

I ran into the problem that the setup procedure always resulted in an 'invalid credentials' error.

Reason: I was doing the integration setup on my computer. Only after some time it dawned to me that the vicare:// URI probably needs the ViCare application and hence that I needed to run the setup on my mobile phone.

Once I did that I was in business. Since I lost some time finding this out I think it makes sense to explicitly add this information to the setup procedure.

* tiny tweak

The `heating_type` can either be `auto` to automatically find the most suitable type for your device or one of `gas`, `oil`, `pellets`, `heatpump`, `fuelcell`, `hybrid`.
Important: the redirect URI that you configure requires that you perform the initial setup on a device that has the ViCare application installed. If your device does not know how to handle the `vicare://` URL, you will receive an **Invalid credentials** notification and the setup procedure will fail. This means: install the ViCare app on your phone and set up the integration from your phone.
Multiple device instances might be generated depending on the number of burners and/or circuits of your installation. If there is more than a single instance all devices are suffixed with the circuit or burner ID.
