python-broadlink API breaking change

[emmaly]

Breaks with mjg59/python-broadlink@8754493. Works with previous commit mjg59/python-broadlink@21d96bd.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "BlackBeanControl.py", line 167, in <module>
    RM3Device = broadlink.rm((RealIPAddress, RealPort), RealMACAddress)
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)

[emmaly]

It appears they've added a fourth argument: devtype.

edit line 167:

RM3Device = broadlink.rm((RealIPAddress, RealPort), RealMACAddress, RealTimeout)

made mine work.

I get the same error.
