docs(ups): document apcupsd test results and Energy Dashboard limitations
The APC Smart-UPS C 1500 (FW 02.2, mfg 2012) does not expose ups.load or
ups.realpower over USB HID. Tested apcupsd as an alternative — it reads the
same HID descriptor and returned COMMLOST. Debian's apcupsd package also
conflicts with nut-server (mutually exclusive).
Documented that the HA NUT integration provides battery/runtime/status sensors
only, not wattage for the Energy Dashboard. Practical path is a smart plug on
the UPS output. Updated daily-ops examples (removed ups.load reference since
the variable doesn't exist on this UPS).
NUT stack fully restored after the apcupsd test cycle.
