Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

It would be great to be able to scan classic bluetooth (not BLE) devices, like phones.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

A device tracker for phones.

**Additional context**

I'm not sure if there's a high-level API for this yet, but it is possible: https://techtutorialsx.com/2018/03/04/esp32-arduino-bluetooth-classic-getting-started/

The PR mentioned on that article is already merged, so it should be simpler.
