Added sensor prefix option and added prefix to sensor names published to home assistant.
Added option for sensor prefix
Forgot the actual function.
Confused files. No correct.
Changed if statement to use proper test syntax ("$STRING" = "STRING" not $STRING == "STRING").
Home Assistant warning about not allowed characters in discovery topic resulting in characters other than letters or _ in the SENSOR_PREFIX. Added sed to replace any character other than letter or _ with _ and remove double occurrences.
Letter, numbers and _ are kept of cause. Added conversion from upper to lower case in SENSOR_PREFIX function.

I added an option to choose whether to add a prefix or not. One can choose between:
0, which is the default and will omit a prefix,
1 which will use the host name as prefix
or a custom string.
The prefix is only added to the home assistant entity names not the script internal names. I saw no need to add them there.
The only problem now is, that the config settings of this option is not used. It only works when enabled in the .sh file. I don't know why.
