Kevin G. e8868217a9 Fix for envcanada Provider to use new Environment Canada weather data access (#3878)
Earlier in 2025, Environment Canada changed the process to access
weather data for Canadian cities. This change was raised in Issue #3822
as a Bug, which is addressed in this Provider update. There are no Magic
Mirror UI changes from this update.

The 'old' method to access Environment Canada involved accessing a
static URL based on a City identifier which would result in an XML
document containing the appropriate weather data.

The 'new' method is a 2 step process. The first step is to access a
time-sensitive URL that contains a list of links to various cities that
have weather data available. The second step requires finding the
correct city in that list based on a City identifier, and then accessing
that unique URL to access an XML document containing the appropriate
weather data.

The changes made to the envcanada Provider code are solely aimed at
using the new 2-step method to access a specified City's weather data.
Since the resulting XML document structure has not changed, no other
code in envcanada required changes.

Note that a ChangeLog entry is included in this PR.

* This class is a provider for Environment Canada MSC Datamart
* Note that this is only for Canadian locations and does not require an API key (access is anonymous)
*
* EC Documentation at following links:
* https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/schema/
* https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/msc-datamart/readme_en/
*
* This module supports Canadian locations only and requires 2 additional config parameters:
*
* siteCode - the city/town unique identifier for which weather is to be displayed. Format is 's0000000'.
*
* provCode - the 2-character province code for the selected city/town.
*
* Example: for Toronto, Ontario, the following parameters would be used
*
* siteCode: 's0000458',
* provCode: 'ON'
*
* To determine the siteCode and provCode values for a Canadian city/town, look at the Environment Canada document
* at https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/docs/site_list_en.csv (or site_list_fr.csv). There you will find a table
* with locations you can search under column B (English Names), with the corresponding siteCode under
* column A (Codes) and provCode under column C (Province).
*
* Acknowledgement: Some logic and code for parsing Environment Canada web pages is based on material from MMM-EnvCanada
*
* License to use Environment Canada (EC) data is detailed here:
* https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/licence/readme_en/
