Rename default camera from 'sunrise' to 'east' for compass consistency

Browse Source 
Cameras are now named by direction (east, north, south, west) throughout
config defaults, examples, and documentation. The config key SUNRISE_CAM
is unchanged — it still means 'which camera faces east and gets the sunrise
job'. Only the camera instance name value changes from 'sunrise' to 'east'.

sky-cam.conf: CAMERAS=(east), SUNRISE_CAM=east, SCHEDULE_*_east,
example comments updated to show all four compass points.
README.md: all command examples updated (4-seasons.sh east, journalctl
sky-cam-capture-east, etc.) — phenomenon references ('sunrise window',
'sunrise time') left unchanged.
bootstrap.sh: example updated to show compass directions.
