Add streaming support w/ audio to Android IP Webcam integration

[regulad]

Breaking change

No breaking changes are made. To users of this integration, the upgrade will be seamless as all devices running Android IP Webcam already support streaming via RTSP.

Proposed change

• This PR adds support in Home Assistant for Android IP Webcam's RTSP streaming and weighs in at under 20 lines of code.
• On devices where AAC audio streaming is not supported, like some older devices running KitKat and lower, audio is omitted and a simple H264 stream is used instead.
• The addition is completely transparent to users of the integration, as the functionality has been in Android IP webcam since the first releases.
• The added audio support enables different applications of the Android IP Webcam devices where audio is important, like Baby Monitors. I hope this PR helps keep these underutilized devices out of the bin!

Type of change

• Dependency upgrade
• Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New integration (thank you!)
• New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
• Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future)
• Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)
• Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests

Additional information

• This PR fixes or closes issue: fixes N/A
• This PR is related to issue: N/A
• Link to documentation pull request: N/A

Checklist

• The code change is tested and works locally. (PR op note: I tried this on 4 different Android devices, all of them worked as expected (audio where audio is supported, regular stream where it is not))
• Local tests pass. Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass
• There is no commented out code in this PR.
• I have followed the development checklist
• I have followed the perfect PR recommendations
• The code has been formatted using Ruff (ruff format homeassistant tests)
• Tests have been added to verify that the new code works. (PR op note: FFMPEG functionality used is covered by other tests, the tests for android_ip_webcam that test general functionality address all code added in this PR)

If user exposed functionality or configuration variables are added/changed:

• Documentation added/updated for www.home-assistant.io (PR op note: I think this functionality is pretty self-explanatory and expected, considering that it requires 0 user interaction to activate and work seamlessly I did not make any documentation changes)

If the code communicates with devices, web services, or third-party tools:

• The manifest file has all fields filled out correctly.
  Updated and included derived files by running: python3 -m script.hassfest.
• New or updated dependencies have been added to requirements_all.txt.
  Updated by running python3 -m script.gen_requirements_all.
• For the updated dependencies - a link to the changelog, or at minimum a diff between library versions is added to the PR description.

Hey @frenck, I noticed that you added the smash tag. Is there anything else this PR needs before it can be merged? It is a pretty tiny deed, after all.
