Fix Apollo Firmware Version sensor showing unknown

[bharvey88]

Version:

What does this implement/fix?

Fixes Apollo Firmware Version text sensor showing "unknown" in Home Assistant.

• Removed update_interval: never so the lambda also fires periodically (every 60s) as a fallback

The root cause is that ESPHome's template text sensor with update_interval: never only publishes when explicitly triggered. Removing this allows the lambda to fire periodically as a fallback, ensuring the version is always reported.

Same fix as ApolloAutomation/AIR-1#87
