Allow changing direction of slider in cover position tile feature

Breaking change

Proposed change

This change will allow the user to change the direction of the slider in the cover position tile feature:

It still follows the rule that we should use the active zone from more info (in this case the active zone shows the close percentage), but it allows us to have 0% on the left.

Ideally, this should be the default behavior, because it uses the close percentage as an active zone and it allows consistent UI/UX - 0% is on the left as in all other tile features.

This change was already proposed in the original PR : #16110 (comment).

I discussed with the UX team and we prefer to keep the current behavior for now rather to add option.

No worries :)
I plan to release this as a custom tile feature.
Sorry for not closing this before.

While I can understand the decision to keep the same default behaviour, I don't understand why an option to invert the slider is not allowed?

IMHO the slider on a 100% opened cover should be represented the same way as a 100% dimmable light, i.e. slider fully to the right. Again, I understand everyone has their opinion and this may not make sense to some people but I'd love to have an option to "invert" the slider bahviour.

@jonferreira We didn't add the option because we don't want to multiply the number of option for each card or card features.
However, it's totally possible to create a custom feature for this behavior (see documentation).

I think this would be a great feature. I also find it confusing to have 100% on the left.
