Not only we cannot be configured as server, but even if we do the
roles are only relevant for PTS because otherwise there is no way to
tell the roles of the remote device.

If device sends request that means it is a Client. If not that means
it is a Server.

Well if it send it can be a Client/Server as well, btw some systems
including Android appear to have support to send Exchange MTU at any
point so detecting a server only pretty hard, besides our current
design split Server and Client functionality so waiting to see if
anything has been received before starting sending anything is not so
trivial and we had still to choose an arbitrary timeout to wait for
detecting the role but if both are based on BlueZ this would just
delay each other.

Maybe we could simply delay MTU exchange until we are done with discovery?
For discovery we shouldn't need larger MTU. And if in the meantime remote
initiates MTU exchange we can skip MTU exchange from our side.
