[Bug]: alarm_control_panel.py, code_format aways returns CodeFormat.TEXT

[somm15]

Describe the bug

The function code_format tests self._code uses a regex to determine if it's a number or a text.
The code used it the one associated to the user configured in homeassistant (visual interface code).
However, I don't believe that the actual code is ever returned by the API (that would be strange, I suppose that the validation is done on the miniserver).
The funciton code_arm_required initializes self._code to "required".
The regex is not applied on the code but on the string required (or None if the block is not secured).

I don't have any good idea about how to solve that.
I don't think that Loxone can enforce numbers for the code (but I did not careful studied the API).
However, having code_format as NUMBER can be quite useful. Some devices like the "NSPanel" only support alarms with NUMBERS, not TEXT.

I used debug logs that the comparison is done on the string "required".

@somm15 as I did not implement the alarm code myself and I do not use the alarm panel I do not really understand what the problem is? Is the alarm panel working or not? Or is it only working for numbers?

Of course I saw the code_arm_required function is not really good implemented.
