Improved commissioning flow

We have streamlined the commissioning process to incorporate these new features, ensuring a more straightforward experience for installers.

Additional minor features and improvements

This update also includes several smaller enhancements, such as OCPP ClockAlignedDataInterval, measurement source readings via OCPP, the exposure of Eichrecht public key via OCPP, single phase commissioning, and dynamic load balancing improvements.
