Move the "Home/Away" device from DEVICE_CATEGORY_SWITCH (3) to DEVICE_CATEGORY_HVAC (5) #29

Several users have understandably complained that the Nest Home/Away device is being grouped with light switches instead of HVAC devices. I have tested this change in the UI5 and the AutHomation and HomeWave apps and I've not seen any negative side effects. I considered also moving the humidistat device from its current category_num of DEVICE_CATEGORY_HUMIDITY (16) to DEVICE_CATEGORY_HVAC (5), but since Vera Control went to the trouble of creating a HUMIDITY category, it makes sense to use it. Perhaps when it's a true humidistat device, it should move to category 5?
