Combine "Power consumption" and "Power production" into 1 combined power entity for the new energy dashboard power feature

Describe the enhancement

Currently, the DSMR integration offers a "Power consumption" and a "Power production" entity. For the new power feature of the energy dashboard, it would be helpful when these are combined into 1 entity with the value (consumption - production). This value can then be used as grid power in the energy dashboard configuration.

This can also be achieved using the template integration, but it would be nice when this is offered immediately by the DSMR integration.

Use cases

This would make the DSMR even more useful for the new power feature of the energy dashboard.

DSMR just provides the data from the meter, it doesn't do calculations. It used to have gas flow before, but it has been removed as it was a calculated value.
You can create a template sensor to get the result you want, and use that for the dashboard.
Or create a template sensor which turns the production sensor to a negative value, and use both the consumption and production value.

I created a FR to be able to use the production sensor provided the DSMR sensor directly
