[RFC BlueZ v0 00/13] Add experimental org.bluez.Service1

Beyond the desktop use-cases, some users (e.g. GENIVI) are interested in having profile-specific information and control interfaces exposed in D-Bus. Such APIs did exist in BlueZ 4 but were dropped for BlueZ 5 in favor of simpler API simplicity. This service-specific interfaces had a fairly low priority for BlueZ 5 and therefore the discussion was postponed.

This patchset proposes org.bluez.Service1 as an attempt to cover these needs. As compared to the former Device.ConnectProfile()/DisconnectProfile(), the approach has the following advantages:
- Multiple instances of the same UUID can be exposed.
- The state of each service can be exposed, without hackish lists like Device.ConnectedProfiles.
- It's ObjectManager-centric.
- The design should scale better if new properties are required in the future (supported features, service handle, etc.)

Mikel Astiz (13):
