Mention simple-entity type in entities.markdown (#27412)

* Mention `simple-entity` type in entities.markdown

Describe how `simple-entity` type can be used to get a read only version of a helper in an entities card. 

I've seen this question for how to do this come up several times on discord, and the solution is currently undocumented.

* Update source/_dashboards/entities.markdown
