WLED latest version fetched on every update

[Xitee1]

Problem/Motivation

Related to: home-assistant/core#93475
Every time the state gets updated, the update sensor in HA goes unavailable. It looks like this is caused by this library as every time this

python-wled/src/wled/wled.py

Line 236 in d2cdb35

async def update(self, *, full_update: bool = False) -> Device: # noqa: PLR0912

function is called, the version is fetched from GitHub.

Expected behavior

After the versions have been fetched, cache and re-use them (unless the full_update parameter is set to True).

Actual behavior

Version gets fetched again.

Steps to reproduce

• Use the WLED integration in HomeAssistant and toggle a the light switch
• Watch how the firmware update sensor goes to Unkown

I have no idea if this is related but today GitHub has massively throttled the download speed of a release file. After turning on my VPN (so changing my IP address), the down speed jumped from 200kb/s to so fast that the 150mb file was finished before I had time to look at the speed.. so about 50mb/s I think (max possible).
This was not related to my GH account since it was also that slow without being signed in. It was limited by my IP address.

Nevertheless, this issue should really get addressed to reduce the API call amount on GH servers.
