In case if pairing is failed, user cannot differentiate from the status
whether failure is caused by local rejection or remote rejection
because authentication failure is coming in both the cases.

This patch overrides the status from controller with "Cancelled"
in case of local rejection.

This patch will be useful if user can take some action based on local
or remote rejection

Added a new flag in hci conn for auth cancel instead of
a new member in struct

Technically the patch looks quite good now. Thanks for implementing the
fix proposals. I had a chat with Marcel and we'd like to have a more
detailed explanation of the exact use case where you need this (i.e.
describe what your agents, etc. are doing and why they can't do what you
want with the current behavior). Also a hcidump showing the local and
remote rejection error codes would be good.

I will change the commit message and describe more about the exact
use case of this patch.

Thanks,
Jaganath
