Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I would like to be able to use different types of clicks as automation triggers in HA
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
The HA Xiaomi Binary Sensor integration exposes button click details. The switches will all fire xiaomi_aqara.click events with a click_type field that can be used to determine the type of the button press - long_click_press, long_click_release, hold, single, double for single switches; or single, double, long, both, double_both, long_both for double-switch devices.
I would like to use similar functionality for ESPHome binary sensors, preferably without having to manually configure each individual click_type as a binary sensor automation. Since I am a MQTT user, I would like this to be supported for both connectivity types (MQTT and API).
