Proposed Changes

Previously, to acquire the home ID for a user during the login, the /me endpoint on my.tado.com was used.

While this is generally fine, it adds a hard dependency of the auth flow on the availability of my.tado.com, which might be unavailable due to rate limiting. This leads to auth failing if a rate limit is currently in place.

This PR changes that, so that the auth flow extracts the home ID from the auth_token JWT (which also includes that), making the auth flow only dependent on auth.tado.com.

Optionally, we could keep a fallback, so that when the extraction fails, the old get_me is used again to acquire the home ID. I left this out for now, as I don't think it is likely tado will suddenly change the JWTs, and it would add additional branching.
