Don't use hub access token directly in IDs #181

The hub access token is used to uniquely identify an instance of the Maker API to the integration. However, this means the access token can't be easily changed. Ideally, an integration instance should have a random unique ID, and should store the associated Maker API access token as a separate piece of configuration data.

While I'm thinking of it: existing installs will need to copy the token value to a new "id" property in the config flow data. New installs will generate a random value for the id. The hub token will be associated with the config flow, but won't be used directly for device IDs (the new "id" property will).
