Matthew Treinish 8627b0e509 Add documentation for the new watson_iot component (#5100)
* Add documentation for the new watson_iot component

This commit adds documention for the new watson_iot component which was
added in home-assistant/home-assistant#13664
It links to the official documentation for setting up the cloud service
and generating the required auth information.

* ✏️ Missing comma

* Use configuration tags

This commit updates the formatting of the configuration section of the
documentation. Previously it manually formatted a list instead of
leveraging the templating format. This corrects that oversight and uses
the standard format.

* 🎨 Adds logo

* ⬆️ ha_release -> 0.68

* ✏️ Processed RFC's

The `watson_iot` component enables you to link the devices in Home Assistant
with an [IBM Watson IoT Platform instance](https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/internet-of-things-cloud).
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use this component, you first need to register a gateway device type and then
a gateway device in your IoT platform instance. For instructions on how to do
this check the [official documentation](https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/IoT/gateways/dashboard.html#IoT_connectGateway)
which provides the details on doing this. After you register the gateway device
for your home-assistant you'll need 4 pieces of information:
- Organization ID
- Gateway device Type
- Gateway device ID
- Authentication Token
With this basic information you can configure the component:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry:
watson_iot:
organization: 'organization_id'
type: 'device_type'
id: 'device_id'
token: 'auth_token'
```
{% configuration %}
organization:
