Send the current applicable rate for the interval with the octopus_energy_electricity_current_day_rates event
Describe the feature
With every octopus_energy_electricity_current_day_rates, along with min_rate and max_rate, send the current/now rate.
Expected behaviour
if the event is triggers at 13:10, payload would look like
...
- start: "2024-06-28T12:30:00+01:00"
end: "2024-06-28T13:00:00+01:00"
value_inc_vat: 0.00441
is_capped: false
- start: "2024-06-28T13:00:00+01:00"
end: "2024-06-28T13:30:00+01:00"
value_inc_vat: 0.00042
is_capped: false
- start: "2024-06-28T13:30:00+01:00"
end: "2024-06-28T14:00:00+01:00"

- start: "2024-06-28T14:00:00+01:00"

### Use Case
Ive been displaying the rates in an apex chart and having the current applicable rate as the header would be useful. Looked at other available entities and none of them gives that information.
