core: Command line sensor warns about needing `device_class` set with temperature `unit_of_measurement` but does not support it

The problem

It appears that command line sensors don’t support the device_class tag and is throwing a warning about needing them for temperature values. Adding the device class to the customize.yaml also doesn’t fix the warning.

What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2021.9.7

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

This is still an issue in 2022.3.7. It can be easily reproduced with the following config:

sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: Test Command Line Sensor
    command: echo 1
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"

which results in the following log output:

2022-03-25 14:54:19 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Entity sensor.test_command_line_sensor (<class 'homeassistant.components.command_line.sensor.CommandSensor'>) with device_class None reports a temperature in °C which will be converted to °F. Temperature conversion for entities without correct device_class is deprecated and will be removed from Home Assistant Core 2022.3. Please update your configuration if device_class is manually configured, otherwise create a bug report at https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22integration%3A+command_line%22

but it is not possible to do what the log entry asks because there is no device_class attribute for command line sensors.

I changed the title so its clear its about the warning.
