Updated SEL format for thermal and voltage sensors

The SEL format for thermal and voltage sensors has been updated to use descriptive sensor names instead of numeric IDs. To ensure backward compatibility during this transition, the system now generates two SEL events for each occurrence:

Legacy event using the numeric sensor ID (e.g., Temperature #0x24)
New event using the descriptive sensor name (e.g., Temperature thermal_p0)

The legacy numeric ID format will be removed in a future release. Users are encouraged to update parsing tools and automation to utilize the new sensor name format.
