/*
  xdrv_79:
  This driver uses the ESP32 BLE functionality to hopefully provide enough
  BLE functionality to implement specific drivers on top of it.

  As a generic driver, it can:
    Be asked to
      connect/write to a MAC/Service/Characteristic
      connect/read from a MAC/Service/Characteristic
      connect/write/awaitnotify from a MAC/Service/Characteristic/NotifyCharacteristic
      connect/read/awaitnotify from a MAC/Service/Characteristic/NotifyCharacteristic

    Notes on MAC addresses:
      BLE MAC addresses come in different 'flavours'
      Anywhere where you enter a MNAC addr, you can now use these forms:
        AABBCCDDEEFF
        AABBCCDDEEFF/n (n = 0..3) where n indicates the TYPE of address
        most notably, if you wish to connect to a random address (n = 1), then you must specify,
        else it will not connect.
        e.g. to alias a random address to fred:
        BLEAlias fred=1234567890/1
        to connect and read fred's name:
        BLEName fred
        BLEName 1234567890/1 - would succeed (if freds name can be read)
        BLEName 1234567890 - would fail
      technical changes: all MAC storage has been increased to 7 bytes, with the last byte being the type...

    Cmnds:
      BLEPeriod
        set the period for BLE tele
      BLEAdv - unused
      BLEOp
        advanced - perform a BLE active operation
        mainly for debug or unsupported devices.
      BLEMode
        control scanning mode
        0 - stop BLE
        1 - run BLE but manual scan
        *2 - run BLE with auto scan
      BLEDetails
        display details of adverts
        BLEdetails0 - no display
        BLEdetails2 <mac|alias> - display for one device
        BLEdetails3 - display for ALL devices
        BLEdetails4 - display for all aliased devices
      BLEScan
        performs a manual scan or set passive/active
        *BLEScan0 0 - set passive scan
        BLEScan0 1 - set active scan (you may get names)
        BLEScan1 nn - start a manula scan for nn seconds
      BLEAlias
        <mac>=<name> <mac>=<name> - set one or more aliases for addresses
      BLEName
        read/write the name from a device using active read of a std characteristic
        BLEName <mac|alias> - read the name
        BLEName <mac|alias> <name> - write the name - few devices support this
      BLEDebug
        enable more debug
        BLEDebug0 - turn off
        BLEDebug|BLEDebug1 - turn on
      BLEDevices
        display or clear the devices list
        BLEDevices0 - clear list
        BLEDevices1 - publish on tele
      BLEMaxAge
        display or set the max age of a BLE address before being forgotten
        BLEMaxAge - display the setting
        BLEMaxAge nn - set to nn seconds
      BLEAddrFilter
        *0/1/2/3 - the maximum 'type' of BLE address recevied
      BLEEnableUnsaved
        *0/1 - if BLE is disabled, this can be used to enable BLE without
        it being saved - useful as the last command in autoexec.bat

  Other drivers can add callbacks to receive advertisements
  Other drivers can add 'operations' to be performed and receive callbacks from the operation's success or failure

Example BLEOp:
Write and request next notify:
BLEOp M:4C65A8DAF43A s:00001530-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123 n:00001531-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123 c:00001531-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123 w:00 go
12:45:12 MQT: tele/tasmota_esp32/BLE = {"BLEOperation":{"opid":"11","stat":"7","state":"DONENOTIFIED","MAC":"4C65A8DAF43A","svc":"00001530-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123","char":"00001531-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123","notifychar":"00001531-1212-efde-1523-785feabcd123","write":"00","notify":"100003"}}


The driver can also be used by other drivers, using the functions:

void registerForAdvertismentCallbacks(char *loggingtag, ADVERTISMENT_CALLBACK* pFn);
void registerForOpCallbacks(char *loggingtag, OPCOMPLETE_CALLBACK* pFn);
bool extQueueOperation(generic_sensor_t** op);

These allow other code to
  receive advertisements
  receive operation callbacks.
  create and start an operation, and get a callback when done/failed.

i.e. the Bluetooth of the ESP can be shared without conflict.
