Updated security guidance for camera streaming OAuth tokens
Security is a priority when building with Google Home. We've recently implemented a change to the Smart Home CameraStream Trait Schema and OAuth token requirements to better target devices.

cameraStreamNeedAuthToken is true, and the token needs to be scoped to just the
target device.
