Request to add Air Purifier as device type to HomeKit Bridge integration

[jeanofthedead]

The problem

The HomeKit Bridge integration lacks the device type "air purifier," instead exposing such devices as fans to Apple Home.app. The device type is supported by Home Assistant here: https://github.com/ak6i/core/blob/homekit_air_purifier/homeassistant/components/homekit/type_air_purifiers.py

Can we please add this device type?
