Description
PAI sends MQTT messages into topics pattern like "paradox/states/zones/name/property".
In case of changing the zone labels, it requires the reconfiguration of any systems receiving the messages.
Feature description
It would be useful to have a configuration option, when enabled the mqtt topics look like "paradox/states/zones/zone#/property" (and likewise for other entities as partitions, outputs, etc).
Also the entity name could be published in a separate subtopic (e.g. paradox/states/zones/zone#/label")

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the MQTT topic-building and configuration entry points, then trace how zones, partitions, and outputs are serialized. Done means an option produces entity-number topics and publishes entity labels in a separate subtopic for each supported entity type.
