652-655: Explicitly mark the IP sensor as diagnostic

ESPHome does not automatically set entity_category: diagnostic for wifi_info.ip_address—it must be explicitly configured. Add entity_category: diagnostic to match the PR objective and ensure consistent behavior across ESPHome versions.

Suggested change

   - platform: wifi_info
     ip_address:
       name: "IP Address"
       id: wifi_ip
+      entity_category: diagnostic

definition for wifi_info (the ip_address block defining name "IP Address" and id

ip_address sensor (wifi_info.ip_address) to include entity_category: diagnostic
so the sensor is marked as a diagnostic entity across ESPHome versions.
