New KinCony Hx component

[kgkolev]

Proposed change

This is a best-effort unification and harmonization of various approaches for integrating a KinCony H8/16/32 boards in a more native HASS component way for easier consumption by the general public. It should be considered as a functional code, but not a fully polished (unit tested, community tested, documented, branded, etc) integration as it is not of direct value to me at this time.

Type of change

• Dependency upgrade
• Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New integration (thank you!)
• New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
• Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)
• Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests
