Make GPS coordinates configurable #59

Hi,

I am starting to setup home assistant in my RV and would like to get some forecast for expected solar energy.

As with most installations on an RV my panels are mounted flat giving me an Azimuth and Declination of a permanent "0".

Unfortunately setting the location (latitude & longitude) is only available on installation and not via the ConfigFlow (?).

From the source code of this project, I gather that the design for this came from the original forecast_solar component. And I know of home-assistant/core#102616 where Frank had a strong opinion about setting/changing the location.

As a Newbie in Home Assistant, I do not see the issue in having two more form fields in the reconfiguration. There are already quite a few fields that rarely will be updated on a static solar installation (like the azimuth :-D )

Is there a reason (except the "came from forecast_solar") for not allowing an update of the location?

I am sorry if this was discussed already but I could not find anything in this repository.

Cheers and thanks for this module,

5nafu
