This patch adds a new remote_name event to the Management interface
which is sent every time the name of a remote device is resolved (over
BR/EDR).

Just wondering if we could ever reuse this for LE. For LE (and GATT
over BR/EDR ?), I believe the "remote device name resolution" is done
by looking at the GAP "Device Name" characteristic after a service
discovery (see spec page 1739).

The advertising data may contain the "full" device name as well, but
it is not mandatory to include it. GAP Device Name OTOH is mandatory.

I suppose it can't be reused for LE. Btw, this event will *not* be sent
for advertising data or extended inquiry response data containing a
remote name. User space is expected to do that extraction from the data
(which comes in the mgmt_device_found event).
