hidd shows different names for a same device when
connected from GUI and CLI

Blueman and other GUIs use the string from ServiceName attribute as
device name in the SDP response, but hidd tool uses strings from
Service Description and Provider Name atrribute.

SDP response from Microsoft Bluetooth device has extended ASCII
character 174(registered symbol) in its ServiceDescription attribute.
Android platform expects the device name to have only printable
characters and therefore GUI Crashes while connecting Microsoft
Bluetooth Mouse using hidd

Using the ServiceName attribute from the SDP response
instead of ProviderName+ServiceDescription for device name in the
hidd tool solves both the issues.

may be you can shorten the commit message. May be have something like this

This patch lets hidd use ServiceName attribute from the SDP response
instead of ProviderName+ServiceDescription for device name.
SDP response from Microsoft Bluetooth device has extended ASCII
character 174(registered symbol) in its ServiceDescription attribute.
This causes some Bluetooth application which expects only printable characters as device name to crash.
