Deprecate camera entities

Cameras are not really properly supported by the local protocol, and
in the past it seems I have not understood limitations in the HA UI.

It is better to model them as switches and events in hindsight (though
events did not yet exist at the time camera support was added).

-### `camera`
+### `camera` *deprecated*

+As cameras are not well supported locally, forcing them into a camera entity does not give good results, instead use switch entities for the controls, and event entities for "snapshots" (which usually contain URLs to fetch the image but need some unknown authentication).
+
 - **motion_enable** (optional, boolean) a dp that enables and disables motion detection features built into the camera.
 - **record** (optional, boolean) a dp that turns reecording on and off.
 - **snapshot** (optional, base64 string) a dp that returns a snapshot image.
