Add Meraki switches, access points and sensors as separate Flexible Assets with richer data

Currently, all Meraki info brought in from the Meraki dashboard is written to the Firewall (auto) flexible asset, which is very confusing and not intuitive (I had to open a support ticket to figure out where the data is going). The data that is being populated in the Flexible Asset is very baseline and not useful if we need to leave IT Glue and go to the Liongard or Meraki portals while working on a ticket, thus decreasing productivity.
To make the inspector truly useful, it should be able to tell the difference between the different device types (firewall, switch, access point, sensor, camera) and write them to the appropriate flexible asset type (i.e. Switch(auto), Sensor(auto), etc.). Also, there's a lot of rich data in the Meraki dashboard for each device that's not being brought in.
