Blink rejects non-UUID hardware_id headers on /oauth/token with a 406,
so the device_id default ("Blinkpy") breaks in-session token refresh.
Verified against the live API: 406 with "Blinkpy", 200 with a UUID.

Description:
/oauth/tokenrejects requests whosehardware_idheader is not a valid UUID with406 Not Acceptable.request_login()sendslogin_data["device_id"](default"Blinkpy") as that header, so every in-session token refresh fails. The header now usesauth.hardware_id, which is guaranteed to be a UUID since #1268.As offered in #1268 — measurements there: 406 with
Blinkpy, 200 with a UUID against the live API. The recent reports in #1217 ("Login endpoint failed" ~90 minutes after a restart, restart temporarily fixes it) match this failure mode: startup uses the OAuth v2 refresh path with a proper UUID in the body, while the in-session refresh sends the rejected header.Related issue (if applicable): follow-up to #1268, addresses the refresh failures reported in #1217
