v0.9.0

Removed

• Remove deprecated documentation in README regarding automatic entity analysis.

  To force a variable to update on startup, add homeassistant_start to
  the variable's tracked_event_type list.

Removed

• Tracked entities are no longer parsed from templates automatically.
  This was an undocumented feature that was confusing as implemented.

This release contains two fixes:

1. Variable value's are no longer being wiped when var.set is invoked.
2. Variables only poll the database before an update if they are backed by a query.
