feat: Updated screensaver image mode fetches random images (#2430)

Browse Source 
BREAKING CHANGE: The `screensaver` image mode now shows a random image
from [picsum.photos](picsum.photos) instead of the embedded default
image. If you previously set `image.mode: screensaver`, change it to
`image.mode: default` to restore the previous behavior.

| Option | Default | Description |
| ------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `entity` | | The entity to use when `mode` is set to `entity`. This entity is expected to have an `entity_picture` attribute that specifies the image URL. |
| `entity_parameters` | | Optional URL parameters to add to the URL generated for entity-based modes (i.e. when `mode` is `camera` or `entity`). |
| `mode` | `auto` | Value must be one of `url` (to fetch an arbitrary image URL), `camera` (to show a still of the currently selected camera entity using either `camera_entity` or `webrtc_card.entity` in that order of precedence), `entity` to show an image associated with a named entity (see the `entity` parameter below), or `screensaver` (to show an [embedded image](https://github.com/dermotduffy/advanced-camera-card/blob/main/src/images/iris-screensaver.jpg)). If `auto`, the mode is chosen automatically based on whether `url` or `entity` parameters have been specified. |
| `refresh_seconds` | 1 | The image will be refreshed at least every `refresh_seconds` (it may refresh more frequently, e.g. whenever Home Assistant updates its camera security token). `0` implies no refreshing. |
| `url` | | A static image URL to be used when the `mode` is set to `url` or when a temporary image is required (e.g. may appear momentarily prior to load of a camera snapshot in the `camera` mode). Note that a `_t=[timestamp]` cache-busting value will be added automatically. |

If `auto`, the mode is chosen automatically based on whether `url` or `entity` parameters have been specified. |
| `refresh_seconds` | `auto` | The image will be refreshed at least every `refresh_seconds` (it may refresh more frequently, e.g. whenever Home Assistant updates its camera security token). `0` implies no refreshing. When set to `auto`, uses `1` for all modes except `screensaver` which uses `60`. |
| `url` | | A static image URL to be used when the `mode` is set to `url` or when a temporary image is required (e.g. may appear momentarily prior to load of a camera snapshot in the `camera` mode). Note that a `_t=[timestamp]` cache-busting value will be added automatically. |
