While I agree we need some option to handle such cases where the
remote end don't expects us to act as GATT Client the option name
shall probably be just to disable the GATT client entirely not just
reverse discovery so it an independent which affects
ReverseServiceDiscovery implicitly otherwise there is a dependency on
one another which may lead to confusions like setting
ReverseServiceDiscovery=false and then ReverseClient=true would have
no effect.

Like explained above I'd suggest we go with just a Client setting here.
