feat(tile): add invert_condition option for inverted attention rendering

Tile widgets gain invert_condition — a list of Lovelace card conditions
(same format and evaluator as the visibility field). When non-empty and
all conditions are met, the tile renders as a solid black card with
white text/icon, with the icon forced to the flat no-circle glyph. On
grayscale e-ink panels a full-tile inversion is an unmissable attention
signal, where the default active-state icon tint reads as lower contrast
than the inactive state.

The editor gains an Invert conditions panel on tile widgets, built on
the same ha-card-conditions-editor wrapper as the Visibility panel
(generalized into _buildConditionsPanel). The ha-form value-changed
handler now also preserves invert_condition, which ha-form would
otherwise drop on any edit.
