Description

The Bosch proprietry library for bme680 was updated recently.
Esphome uses the old version ([1.6.1480](https://github.com/boschsensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library/releases/tag/v1.6.1480)). As this version is the first update within 3 years and fixes some bugs, I hope the accuracy of the sensor is improved.

Seems like Bosch is working on the Library again, it was already updated to 1.8.1492

Research direction

Review the linked BSEC-Arduino-library releases for versions 1.7.1492 and 1.8.1492, then inspect how ESPHome currently incorporates the older BSEC 1.6.1480 library. Determine the supported update target and verify that the bme680 integration still builds and behaves correctly across the relevant ESPHome targets.
