Hawk Camera Support

[austinc3030]

Description:

Adds support for the Blink Arc camera (hawk product type). Includes homescreen discovery, a BlinkHawk sync module class, and a BlinkCameraHawk camera class with hawk-specific API endpoints. Also fixes a bug in setup_owls() and setup_lotus() where network_id was being used as the camera ID instead of the actual camera ID.

Checklist:

• Local tests with tox run successfully PR cannot be meged unless tests pass
• Changes tested locally to ensure platform still works as intended
• Tests added to verify new code works

Pull request overview

Adds first-class support for the Blink Arc (hawk) camera type by extending discovery, sync-module handling, camera modeling, and config endpoints, while also correcting camera ID selection for existing sync-less devices.

Changes:

• Introduces BlinkHawk (sync-less module) and BlinkCameraHawk with hawk-specific endpoints (arm/config/clip/thumbnail/liveview).
• Extends discovery and camera-list building to include hawks, and updates sync-module camera instantiation to recognize the new type.
• Fixes setup_owls() / setup_lotus() to use the actual camera id (not network_id) and updates/adds tests accordingly.

blinkpy/sync_module.py:229

• get_unique_info() aborts the whole search on the first missing homescreen key (KeyError). After adding the new hawks type key, homescreen payloads that omit hawks can cause lookups for other device types (e.g., doorbells) to incorrectly return None unless callers/tests inject "hawks": [].

                self.cameras[name] = camera_type(self)
                self._names_table[to_alphanumeric(name)] = name
                await self.cameras[name].update(
                    camera_info, force_cache=True, force=True

Addressed in commit 0a063cb — update_cameras() now uses a local resolved_camera_type per iteration instead of mutating the camera_type parameter, preventing class leakage between loop iterations.

Just going to respond here- thanks for the PRs. There's a decent amount of time I need to spend reviewing them and I'm not sure when I'll be able to get around to it. So I'm going to skip these for the next minor release of blinkpy and will target these for a major release post-review. If more than a week or two passes without me reviewing anything, just ping me. I get busy and forget things easily
