Recommendations on lost connection detection (#8441)

* Recommendations on lost connection detection

After implementing the second option to detect lost connection I almost immediately ran into the issue that due to a network issue the connection between HASS and CCU was lost but HASS did not detect it.
Since Home Automation gas to be as reliable as possible I rephrased the introduction to the second option to address this problem and make anyone aware or this problem.

* Optimizing rephrasing

- If you have a CCU you can also create a system variable on the CCU, which stores its last reboot time. Since Home Assistant can still refresh system variables from the CCU (even after a reboot), this is a pretty reliable way to detect situations where you need to call *homematic.reconnect*. This is how this can be done:

Since Home Assistant can still refresh system variables from the CCU (even after a reboot) this is another option to call *homematic.reconnect*. Even though this option might look preferrable to many since it does not rely on a sensor, **it is less fail-safe** than checking for updates of a sensor. Since the variable on the CCU is only changed on boot, any problem that causes the connection between Home Assistant and the CCU to break but will not result in a reboot will not be detected (eg. in case of networking issues). This is how this can be done:
1. Create a string variable **V_Last_Reboot** on the CCU
