Add a custom panel for KNX with a group monitor
Proposed change
This adds a custom panel for the KNX integrations which allows to upload a project file and offers a group monitor for bus diagnostics.
More features shall follow later - this was our idea of a MVP for a custom KNX panel.
New requirements
xknxproject - the project data parser https://github.com/XKNX/xknxproject/ knx-frontend - the package containing the panels frontend code https://github.com/XKNX/knx-frontend/

This is really cool and i'd love to see this in. Is panel_custom is the right way to go? Seems to be very little use of that inside HA. Panels tend to be added directly to the frontend repo.
That was Paulus' suggestion. Afaik it's only used for Insteon currently, and there is an open PR for Dynalite doing the same.
I guess only selected / wider used integrations get to go directly into the frontend repo.
I think this looks good. A second opinion from somebody with more knowledge of custom_panel would be good.
I built the Insteon side panel and this LGTM.
I'm gonna merge this since we have three approving reviews on this. Thank you all!
