Fix SwitchBot Blind Tilt KeyError on idle BLE advertisements

[frenck]

Proposed change

SwitchBotBlindTiltEntity._handle_coordinator_update crashes with KeyError: 'motionDirection' on every BLE advertisement when the blind tilt is idle, because idle devices don't include the motionDirection key in their parsed BLE data.

Use self._device.is_opening() / self._device.is_closing() instead of direct dict access, matching the pattern used by all other SwitchBot cover entities in the same file (SwitchBotCurtainEntity, SwitchBotRollerShadeEntity, etc.).

Pull request overview

Fixes a KeyError: 'motionDirection' raised on every BLE advertisement for idle SwitchBot Blind Tilt devices by replacing direct dict access with the device's is_opening() / is_closing() helpers, matching the pattern already used by other cover entities in the same module.

Changes:

• Replace self.parsed_data["motionDirection"][...] with self._device.is_opening() / is_closing() in SwitchBotBlindTiltEntity._handle_coordinator_update.
• Add a regression test that injects an idle advertisement (no motionDirection) and asserts the entity remains available.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the same patch as on L405? Nothing really changed to info_idle so this statement doesn't really do much
