Added alerts for Heat/Cool differential. Other settings are more about comfort and do not require alerts. Moving this out as the rest of the settings belong in a “setting optimizer” section.

This is sort of outside the scope of the project at this point. Beestat is more of a “here’s the data, you figure out what to do with it” type of application. I am providing some recommendations in guides outside of beestat but that’s about it. Keeping this open for now as an idea in case I would change my mind.
