Andrew Hayworth 901f076942 Add documentation for the Awair sensor platform (#7579)
* Add documentation for the Awair sensor platform

* Update documentation for Awair

After PR feedback, I decided not to implement all of the additional
configuration options here. They felt like overkill.

The `awair` sensor platform will fetch data from your [Awair device(s)](https://getawair.com).
You will need to request access to the Awair API and obtain an access token from the Awair [Developer Console](https://developer.getawair.com/).
## {% linkable_title Configuring the Platform %}
To enable these sensors, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: awair
access_token: ACCESS_TOKEN
```
The Awair API has stringent usage quotas. The API method to discover devices in your account is
limited to only 6 calls per 24 hours. If you find that you've exceeded this quota, you may optionally
append device information to your configuration to bypass this call:
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: awair
access_token: ACCESS_TOKEN
devices:
- uuid: UUID
```
{% configuration %}
access_token:
description: The access token for the Awair API.
required: true
type: string
devices:
description: An optional list to manually configure devices rather than relying upon API discovery.
required: false
type: list
keys:
uuid:
description: UUID of the Awair sensor to monitor.
required: true
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
## {% linkable_title Available Sensors %}
The platform will fetch all available sensors from each Awair device linked to your account. Supported sensors:
* Temperature
* Humidity
* CO2
* VOC
* Dust, PM2.5, PM10: varies according to Awair model
This platform refreshes at an interval based on a 300 API call per-day quota, and the number of devices you have configured.
