All entities should have a 'phonetic name' attribute

In addition to a ‘display name’, each entity should have an (optional) ‘phonetic name’ so that things like TTS and Alexa/Google Assistant can correctly pronounce it.

I have a bunch of entities named for my “rec room” (short for ‘recreation’, which I pronounce ‘wreck’), and my Google Assistant (which I have set to the Aussie accent) continually reads as “reek room”. I’m sure there are others that have similar issues.

It could be used as such:

- name: recroom_tv
  display_name: "Rec room TV"
  phonetic_name: "wreck room tee vee"

Did a google search this morning and found my own post! I had completely forgotten that I suggested this in the first place. I’m kind of surprised there weren’t more up-votes.

Is there a way to do this now that voice is so much more prevalent in Home Assistant? I have many entities that neither Google Assistant nor any of my HA-configured voice assistants (Piper and Gemini) know how to pronounce properly.
