Typecheck DPT and RemoteValue
<!--

## Description
<!--
Please include a summary of the change and which issue is fixed.
Please also include relevant motivation and context.
List any dependencies that are required for this change.
-->
So I have tried to type annotate DPT and fell into a mypy rabbit hole. Sorry for this PR from Hell.

For type checking to work these changes were made:
- RemoteValue is Generic now accepting DPTArray or DPTBinary
- split RemoteValueClimateMode into RemoteValueControllerMode and RemoteValueOperationMode
- return the payload (or None) in RemoteValue.payload_valid(payload) instead of True/False
- Light colors are represented as Tuple[Tuple[int,int,int], int] instead of Tuple[List[int], int] now
- DPT 3 payloads/values are not invertable anymore. This was done in the DPT classes, but should be done in RemoteValue.

Fixes # (issue)
