Improvements to VRM and New UI for DC only systems

We need better visualization in VRM and new UI for DC only systems such as cars (campers) and DC only (or AC->DC) powered telco equipment.

See these images from the same setup:


First - it shows Inverter Off and AC load when there are none. These boxes shouldn’t be visible at all. In System setup - position of AC load should be option of no AC loads present.

Second - Alternator (via Orion XS 1400) is shown in GUI (great) but no in VRM (not great). It should be there instead of AC input in this case.

Third - the graph below in VRM should display Alternator energy bars - equivalent of green bars in Generator energy in AC setup

Fourth - there should be red consumption bars in the same graph. DC system is enabled and battery measures current correctly and reports back to Cerbo via BMS-Can.

Fifth - when the VRM graph is switched to consumption, the consumed DC energy should be divided correctly between Solar and Alternator.

Sixth - battery box in case of managed Lithium batteries in GUI and VRM should be reporting time-to-go similar to how it used to be with Lead Acid batteries and BMV… this feature is really being missed

Thanks
