This is technically a breaking change, but:
a) We need the end handle to do descriptor discovery properly.
b) We have no possible use for the existing definition handle in the
characteristic result IRQ. None of the methods can use it, and therefore
no existing code should be using it in a way that changing it to a
different integer value should break.
Unfortunately NimBLE doesn't make it easy to get the end handle, so also
implement a mechanism to use the following characteristic to calculate
the previous characteristic's end handle.

Incorrect use of "continue" when the tuple was length zero meant it
broke the rest of the argument handling.

If the Bluetooth stack runs on another OS thread then synchronous BLE irq
callbacks, which block the Bluetooth stack until the callback to Python is
complete, must coordinate with the main thread and configure the
MicroPython thread-local-state.
This commit adds MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_USE_SYNC_EVENTS_WITH_INTERLOCK which
can be enabled if the system has these requirements.

This replaces occurences of
foo_t *foo = m_new_obj(foo_t);
foo->base.type = &foo_type;
with
foo_t *foo = mp_obj_malloc(foo_t, &foo_type);
Excludes any places where base is a sub-field or when new0/memset is used.

This allows the write to trigger a notification or indication, but only to
subscribed clients. This is different to gatts_notify/gatts_indicate,
which will unconditionally notify/indicate.

This helps to reduce memory fragmentation, by freeing the heap data as soon
as it is not needed. It also helps the compiler keeps a reference to the
beginning of both arrays, which need to be traceable by the GC (otherwise
some compilers may optimise this reference to something else).

Previously, the MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE macro
controlled enabling both the central mode and the GATT client
functionality (because usually the two go together).
This commits adds a new MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_GATT_CLIENT
macro that separately enables the GATT client functionality.
This defaults to MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_CENTRAL_MODE.
This also fixes a bug in the NimBLE bindings where a notification
or indication would not be received by a peripheral (acting as client)
as gap_event_cb wasn't handling it. Now both central_gap_event_cb
and peripheral_gap_event_cb share the same common handler for these
events.

This allows sending arbitrary HCI commands and getting the response. The
return value of the function is the status of the command.
This is intended for debugging and not to be a part of the public API, and
must be enabled via mpconfigboard.h. It's currently only implemented for
NimBLE bindings.

Rather than dealing with the different int types, just pass them all as a

This adds `_IRQ_GET_SECRET` and `_IRQ_SET_SECRET` events to allow the BT
stack to request the Python code retrive/store/delete secret key data. The
actual keys and values are opaque to Python and stack-specific.
Only NimBLE is implemented (pending moving btstack to sync events). The
secret store is designed to be compatible with BlueKitchen's TLV store API.

This widens the characteristic/descriptor flags to 16-bit, to allow setting

This requires that the event handlers are called from non-interrupt context
(i.e. the MicroPython scheduler).
This will allow the BLE stack (e.g. NimBLE) to run from the scheduler
rather than an IRQ like PENDSV, and therefore be able to invoke Python
callbacks directly/synchronously. This allows writing Python BLE handlers
for events that require immediate response such as _IRQ_READ_REQUEST (which
was previous a hard IRQ) and future events relating to pairing/bonding.

Instead of having the stack indicate a "start", "data"..., "end", pass
through the data in one callback as an array of chunks of data.
This is because the upcoming non-ringbuffer modbluetooth implementation
cannot buffer the data in the ringbuffer and requires instead a single
callback with all the data, to pass to the Python callback.

For the following 3 functions, previously the code relied on whether the
arg was passed at all, to make it optional. Now it allows them to be
explicitly `None` to indicate they are not used:
- gatts_notify(..., [data])
- gattc_discover_services(..., [uuid])
- gattc_discover_characteristics(..., [uuid])
Also ensure that the uuid arguments are actually instances of the uuid
type, and fix handling of the 5th arg in gattc_discover_characteristics().
This adds an additional optional parameter to gap_scan() to select active
scanning, where scan responses are returned as well as normal scan results.
This parameter is False by default which retains the existing behaviour.
The READ_REQUEST callback is handled as a hard interrupt (because the BLE
stack needs an immediate response from it so it can continue) and so calls
to Python require extra protection:
- the caller-owned tuple passed into the callback must be separate from the
tuple used by other callback events (which are soft interrupts);
- the GC and scheduler must be locked during callback execution.
This commit adds the IRQ_GATTS_INDICATE_DONE BLE event which will be raised
with the status of gatts_indicate (unlike notify, indications require
acknowledgement).
An example of its use is added to ble_temperature.py, and to the multitests
in ble_characteristic.py.
Implemented for btstack and nimble bindings, tested in both directions
between unix/btstack and pybd/nimble.
The goal of this commit is to allow using ble.gatts_notify() at any time,
even if the stack is not ready to send the notification right now. It also
addresses the same issue for ble.gatts_indicate() and ble.gattc_write()
(without response). In addition this commit fixes the case where the
buffer passed to write-with-response wasn't copied, meaning it could be
modified by the caller, affecting the in-progress write.
The changes are:
- gatts_notify/indicate will now run in the background if the ACL buffer is
currently full, meaning that notify/indicate can be called at any time.
- gattc_write(mode=0) (no response) will now allow for one outstanding
write.
- gattc_write(mode=1) (with response) will now copy the buffer so that it
can't be modified by the caller while the write is in progress.
All four paths also now track the buffer while the operation is in
progress, which prevents the GC free'ing the buffer while it's still
needed.
The ring buffer previously used a single unsigned byte field to save the
length, meaning that it would overflow for large characteristic value
responses.
With this commit it now use a 16-bit length instead and has code to
explicitly truncate at UINT16_MAX (although this should be impossible to
achieve in practice).
On btstack there's no status associated with the read result, it comes
through as a separate event. This allows you to detect read failures or
timeouts.
There doesn't appear to be any use for only triggering on specific events,
so it's just easier to number them sequentially. This makes them smaller
values so they take up only 1 byte in the ringbuf, only 1 byte for the
opcode in the bytecode, and makes room for more events.
Also add a couple of new event types that need to be implemented (to avoid
re-numbering later).
And rename _COMPLETE and _STATUS to _DONE for consistency.
In the future the "trigger" keyword argument can be reinstated by requiring
the user to compute the bitmask, eg:
ble.irq(handler, 1 << _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT | 1 << _IRQ_SCAN_DONE)
This commit allows the user to set/get the GAP device name used by service
0x1800, characteristic 0x2a00. The usage is:
BLE.config(gap_name="myname")
print(BLE.config("gap_name"))
As part of this change the compile-time setting
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_NAME is renamed to
MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH_DEFAULT_GAP_NAME to emphasise its link to GAP and this
new "gap_name" config value. And the default value of this for the NimBLE
bindings is changed from "PYBD" to "MPY NIMBLE" to be more generic.
