* General code cleanup and rename variables to use a consistent style.
* Removes the disconnect timer and will use the BLE_GAP_EVENT_TERM_FAILURE event to handle failed disconnects.
* `NimBLEClient::getConnId` has been renamed to `getConnHandle` to be consistent with bluetooth terminology.
* `NimBLEClient::disconnect` now returns a `bool = true on success` instead of an int to be consistent with the rest of the library.
* `NimBLEClient::setPeerAddress` now returns a bool, true on success.
* `NimBLEClientCallbacks::onConfirmPIN` renamed to `NimBLEClientCallbacks::onConfirmPasskey` to be consistent with bluetooth terminology.
* `NimBLEClient::setDataLen` now returns bool, true if successful.
* `NimBLEClient::updateConnParams` now returns bool, true if successful.
* `NimBLEClient::getServices` now returns a const reference to std::vector<NimBLERemoteService*> instead of a pointer to the internal vector.
Refactor attributes to reduce code duplication and improve maintainability.
* Add attribute base classes to provide common code.
* Add const where possible to functions and parameters.
* `NimBLECharacteristic::notify` no longer takes a `bool is_notification` parameter, instead `indicate()` should be called to send indications.
* `NimBLECharacteristic::indicate` now takes the same parameters as `notify`.
* `NimBLECharacteristicCallbacks` and `NimBLEDescriptorCallbacks` methods now take `const NimBLEConnInfo&` instead of non-const.
* `NimBLECharacteristic::onNotify` callback removed as unnecessary, the library does not call notify without app input.
* `NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::getRemoteService` now returns a `const NimBLERemoteService*` instead of non-const.
* Add NimBLEUUID constructor that takes a reference to `ble_uuid_any_t`.
* `NimBLERemoteService::getCharacteristics` now returns a `const std::vector<NimBLERemoteCharacteristic*>&` instead of non-const `std::vector<NimBLERemoteCharacteristic*>*`
* `NimBLERemoteService::getValue` now returns `NimBLEAttValue` instead of `std::string`
* `NimBLEService::getCharacteristics` now returns a `const std::vector<NimBLECharacteristic*>&` instead of a copy of std::vector<NimBLECharacteristic *>.
* Remove const requirement for NimBLEConnInfo parameter in callbacks.
Const is unnecessary as the data can't be changed by application code.
* Change NimBLERemoteCharacteristic::getRemoteService to return const pointer.
* Make NimBLEConnInfo functions const.
* Update callback functions and update client to use new functions.
* Update examples.
* Update migration guide.

* Adds NimBLEClient::setConnection to allow servers to read the name of connected clients by passing their connection info to the Client class.
* Adds NimBLEClient::clearConnection to be able to reuse the client without deleting and recreating.
Change the callback functions that receive a ble_gap_conn_desc pointer to instead receive a NimBLEConnInfo reference.
* Add a reason parameter to the server disconnect callback.
* Remove connect and disconnect callback that do not receive info parameters.
* Remove onRead and onWrite Characteristic callbacks that do not receive info parameters.
* Add info parameter to Descriptor onWrite and onRead callbacks.
* Add details to migration guide.
Changes all functions that accept a time parameter to use milliseconds instead of seconds.
* Adds duration input to NimBLEDevice::startAdvertising and NimBLEServer::startAdvertising.
Adds support for advertising and connections with coded/2M PHY's.
Adds new classes `NimBLEExtAdvertising` and `NimBLEExtAdvertisement`.
When extended advertising is enabled the original advertising classes become unavailable and the new classes must be used.
Changed some return values for advertising methods for consistency with the new classes methods.
This is a specialized container class to hold BLE attribute values.
- Removes the use of std::string previously used to store the values.
- Allows for setting/getting/notifying values from std::string, std::vector<uint8_t>, Arduino String, const char*, and uint8_t buffers.
- Has operators retrieve the value as std::string, Arduino String, std::vector<uint8_t>, uint8_t* or char pointers.
- Includes iterators and subscript/random access operator.
- Introduces a max length parameter to the creation of server characteristics/descriptors to limit the size of the memory footprint.
- Nearly Seamless integration with existing code.
- Adds a config option to enable/disable timestamp storage when the value is updated.
- Adds a config option to specify the initial size of the value container if not specified in the constructor.
* Sets macros to allow compiling when Central role is enabled and Observer disabled, or Peripheral enabled and Broadcaster disabled.
* Adds a macro definition for CONFIG_NIMBLE_CPP_IDF to enable different include paths/functionality for IDF / Arduino.
If a connection event was sent but failed to establish then the disconnect
callback would be triggered when the application was not yet informed of the connection.
* Cleanup logs and add comments.
* Handle the return codes from ble_gap_connect to take proper actions for different codes.
* Improve client event handling to accomodate delayed PDU responses.
* Use connection ID as a replacement for the isConnected flag. Also check if a task is waiting for
results instead of the waitingToConnect flag.
* Adds a disconnect timer so that calling disconnect will start a timer for the connection
supervision timeout time + a small delay. When this expires it will reset the host if a disconnect event
does not occur in this time. This is added as a workaround for the occasional situation
when the controller does not send an event after the disconnect command.
* The type is available in the NimBLEAddress parameter, no longer needed separately.

* Replace all semaphores with task notifications.
* use critical sections to prevent concurrent data access.
* Ensure scan stop has been called before connecting.
* Optimize and cleanup
* Add template casting to NimBLERemoteDescriptor::readValue()
* Removed storage of the descriptor value read as it did not serve any purpose.
* Make remote attribute delete functions public.
* Rename clear...() functions to delete...(), with ... equals Service(-s), Characteristic(-s) or Descriptor(-s), depending on what the function actually deletes
Instead of discovering the peripheral database on connection and consuming
the associated resources this will give the user more control over the
discovery operation.
* Adds void NimBLEClient::discoverAtrributes() for the user to discover all
the peripheral attributes as a replacement for the former functionality.
* getServices(), getCharacteristics(), getDescriptors() now take an
optional bool parameter (default false).
If true it will clear the respective vector and retrieve all the respective
attributes from the peripheral. If false it will retrieve the attributes
only if the vector is empty, otherwise the vector is returned with the
currently stored attributes.
* getService(NimBLEUUID), getCharacteristic(NimBLEUUID), getDescriptor(NimBLEUUID)
will now check the respective vectors for the attribute object and, if not
found, will retrieve (only) the specified attribute from the peripheral.
Add iterators for NimBLEScan: NimBLEadvertisedDevice, NimBLEClient: NimBLERemoteService, NimBLERemoteService: NimBLERemoteCharacteristic and NimBLERemoteCharacteristic: NimBLERemoteDescriptor
This is handy e.g. for showing every address of the advertised devices from a scan. To do so, first get a new scan and next:
```
for(auto pAdvertisedDevice: pBLEScan->getResults()) {
Serial.printf("Address is %s\n", std::string(pAdvertisedDevice->getAddress()).c_str());
}
```
Of course any other property of the advertised device can be shown (or looked up, if that is your use case)
Also this is handy e.g. for showing every UUID in a peripheral. To do so, first connect to a peripheral and next:
```
for(auto pService: *pClient) {
Serial.printf("Service UUID is %s\n", std::string(pService->getUUID()).c_str());
for(auto pCharacteristic: *pService) {
Serial.printf("Characteristic UUID is %s\n", std::string(pCharacteristic->getUUID()).c_str());
for(auto pDescriptor: *pCharacteristic) {
Serial.printf("Descriptor UUID is %s\n", std::string(pDescriptor->getUUID()).c_str());
}
}
}
```
Again of course any other property can be shown, or looked up.
* Exchange map for vector, saving 1,076 bytes of program memory and 5,024 bytes of heap for a small device (LYWSD03MMC)
* Removing m_characteristicMapByHandle (using the handles form m_characteristicVector instead) saving in total (compared to the current master) 1,508 bytes of program memory and 6,500 bytes of heap for a small device (LYWSD03MMC)
* Change NimBLEScan container from std::map to std::vector
* Add function to get advertised device by address
* Update documentation
This allows NimBLE options in menuconfig to reduce code size based on
the roles selected (scan/advertising/central/peripheral).
Significant code space can be saved by removing unnecessary roles for the application.
