This change allows the advertising client to specify advertising data
and scan response for any AD section types that would otherwise be
settable via the other LEAdvertisement1 properties.

Hello Maintainers,

We have a new advertising use case in which the client must be able to
specify some data fields, specifically Service UUIDs in the scan
response payload. With the current API, this is not possible, and in
addition the Data property limits the client to only setting 3
advertising section types.

This change proposes that we enable the setting of scan response, and
for both data/scan response enable the AD section types that are
already settable via the other advertisement properties. This should
minimize security concerns as it is not enabling any new advertising
types, while greatly improving client flexibility in defining their
advertising data and scan response contents.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Warm regards,
Daniel Winkler
