clean_http_kwargs strips zero values (0, 0.0) from nested dicts due to 0 == False in Python

[kasperiio]

What happened?

The clean_http_kwargs function in appdaemon/utils.py incorrectly removes integer 0 and float 0.0 values from nested dictionaries when preparing HTTP requests. This is because it uses remove_literals(cleaned, (None, False)) and in Python, 0 == False and 0.0 == False both evaluate to True.

Steps to Reproduce:
`from appdaemon.utils import clean_http_kwargs
import json

test_data = {
'state': '0.08',
'attributes': {
'prices': {
'2025-11-29T00:00:00+02:00': {'price': 0.0, 'intervals': 4},
'2025-11-29T11:00:00+02:00': {'price': 0.08, 'intervals': 4}
}
}
}

result = clean_http_kwargs(test_data)
print(json.dumps(result, indent=2))`

Expected Result:
{ "state": "0.08", "attributes": { "prices": { "2025-11-29T00:00:00+02:00": {"price": 0.0, "intervals": 4}, "2025-11-29T11:00:00+02:00": {"price": 0.08, "intervals": 4} } } }

Actual Result:
{ "state": "0.08", "attributes": { "prices": { "2025-11-29T00:00:00+02:00": {"intervals": 4}, "2025-11-29T11:00:00+02:00": {"price": 0.08, "intervals": 4} } } }

The price key is completely missing from the first entry.

Relevant code in the app or config file that caused the issue

In appdaemon/utils.py, the remove_literals function (line ~1102) uses equality comparison:

`def remove_literals(val: Any, literal: Sequence[Any]) -> Any:
    """Remove instances of literals from a nested data structure."""
    match val:
        case str():
            return val
        case Mapping():
            return {k: remove_literals(v, literal) for k, v in val.items() if v not in literal}
        # ...`

The clean_http_kwargs function calls it with (None, False):
`
def clean_http_kwargs(val: Any) -> Any:
    cleaned = clean_kwargs(val, http=True)
    pruned = remove_literals(cleaned, (None, False))
    return pruned
`
The problem is that v not in literal uses == comparison, and in Python:

0 == False → True
0.0 == False → True
0 in (None, False) → True
0.0 in (None, False) → True
Suggested Fix:

Use identity comparison (is) instead of equality (==) in remove_literals

This should be fixed by #2475.
