* fix: #200 Use `data()`/`size()` instead of `c_str()`/`length()`
* Reduce duplication, only allow template function in characteristic and remote value attr if the type is not a pointer (otherwise sizeof is useless). add appropriate notes
* clean up AttValue::setValue to remove unnecessary length parameter enabling requirement of non-pointer type
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.
* Add length parameter to `setValue()` templates, with defaults for backward compatibility.
* Changed `setValue(const char*)` to add an optional length parameter so that a NULL character can be included, defaults to strlen.
* Moved non-inline functions to `NimBLEAttValue.cpp` file.
* Corrected includes to permit compilation as a stand-alone utility.
* Removed repeated code in `setValue()` by using `append()` after clearing the value.
* General code cleanup.
* Adds the NIMBLE_CPP_DEBUG_ASSERT macro that calls a weak function to allow user defined action, defaults to critical error message and aborts.
* Adds a config option to disable asserts using the NIMBLE_CPP_DEBUG_ASSERT macro.
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.
