Fix: Convert StringRef to const char* in wake word engine checks

Description

This PR fixes a type conversion issue in the atoms3r-with-echo-base.yaml configuration file where current_option() returns a StringRef object that needs to be converted to const char* using .c_str() before comparison with string literals.

Problem

The lambda functions were attempting to directly assign the result of current_option() to a const char* pointer without proper conversion, which could cause compilation issues or runtime errors depending on the ESPHome version.

Solution

Added .c_str() method calls to all wake word engine location checks to properly convert the StringRef return value to a C-style string pointer.

Changes

• Updated 6 lambda functions in common/atoms3r-with-echo-base.yaml to use .c_str() for proper type conversion
• Ensures compatibility with the select API changes introduced in ESPHome 2025.12.0

Files Changed

• common/atoms3r-with-echo-base.yaml
