This removes the unnecessary division between sensors and settings in favor of just having "properties" that can have different access flags.
This will greatly simplify the API as all properties are alike, the difference is just in the access flags.
The earlier API to get settable properties (settings) and readable properties (sensors) is kept intact for the time being.
SettingDescriptor is no more, all readable and writable properties are described using PropertyDescriptors:
Add 'access' to Descriptor
descriptors
interface in the future, if needed.Add 'property' to Descriptor
Add 'properties' method to 'Device' to get all property descriptors. 'settings' and 'sensors' return a filtered dict based on the properties for backwards compat.
