Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Add support for AS6212 temperature sensor (I2C).

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

The SparkFun Digital Temperature Sensor Breakout (SEN-18521) utilizes a AS6212 chip to obtain temperature readings as well as high and low alert thresholds. A corresponding sensor component would be "a dream" to allow it to be used in ESPHome.

**Additional context**

The Sparkfun library is SparkFun_AS6212_Qwiic_Arduino_Library

Research direction

Start by reviewing the AS6212 sensor requirements and the SparkFun_AS6212_Qwiic_Arduino_Library referenced in the issue. Identify the existing ESPHome sensor component pattern that fits an I2C temperature sensor, then verify that temperature readings and high/low alert thresholds are supported and usable with the SEN-18521 breakout.
