Align the SwitchBot sensor with the official product name and the renamed pySwitchbot symbols (SwitchbotUniversalRemote / SwitchbotModel.UNIVERSAL_REMOTE). Renames the SupportedModels enum member, service-info fixture, and test accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The pySwitchbot parser reads the battery/charging byte from mfr_data[7]; move 0x50 from index 9 to index 7 in UNIVERSAL_REMOTE_SERVICE_INFO so the battery sensor test reads 80 again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Breaking change
Proposed change
Add support for the SwitchBot Universal Remote (internal name Remote With Screen,
WoRemoteWithScreen) to the SwitchBot integration.The device is registered as a connectable model and exposes a battery sensor (battery level is provided both in the BLE advertisement and via the basic-info command). It reuses the existing generic
batterysensor description, so no new sensor entity description is required.This PR depends on the corresponding
pySwitchbotchange that adds theSwitchbotUniversalRemotedevice class andSwitchbotModel.UNIVERSAL_REMOTE:Note from SwitchBot team
This change is developed by the official SwitchBot team. The implementation has been verified with real hardware testing on physical devices.
