Request to add ESPHome custom_components as a category

See original GitHub issue

Checklist

This Feature Request only contain 1 request (if you have multiple open multiple feature requests).

The idea

It would be good if users could easily install and share their custom_components for ESPHome. Currently there is no central location for custom_components and github links are scattered around the place.

Implementation

How do you see this being implemented? I think this would be very similar to HA integrations but with a different repo list and folder that they are saved in.

Alternatives

Are there any alternative solutions or features you’ve considered? This could be a feature built into the ESPHome dashboard, but the focus there is on the actual development of ESPHome and I believe that this fits with the use case of HACS.

Additional context

Considering if people are mostly using ESPHome as an addon to HA, then the ESPHome config folder is located inside the HA config folder and the custom_components for esphome would be placed in esphome/custom_components

What is this? Do you have links to documentation for it? Are there any github repos that offer custom_components for ESP home now?
