* Fix for issue #4158: Crash with stack trace originating in Bluedroid
Improved configuration of scan response data in 'BLEAdvertising' avoids the crash:
- Added member variable 'm_scanRespData' to configure scan response differently from advertising data
- Initialization of 'm_scanRespData' in BLEAdvertising constructor
- Use of 'm_scanRespData' within BLEAdvertising::start() to configure the scan response
- 'Flags' and 'Appearance' are cleared in the scan response data
- With this fix, device names of up to 29 characters can be used without causing a crash.
