This patch proposes extensions to Attribute API, giving access to all
characteristic descriptors (beyond 'Description' and 'Format').
Client Characteristic Configuration automatic update upon Watcher
registering will be handled by another patch series.

+ Dict of descriptors for this characteristic.
+
+ This dict contains only the descriptors not already
+ covered by other properties (v.g. Description, Format).
+
+ Each descriptor is mapped to an unique object path,
+ which is the dict key.
+
+ Each dict value is, in turn, a dict with at least
+ the following keys:
+
+ {
+ "UUID": string. Descriptor UUID, always present
+ "Value": array of bytes. Raw descriptor value,
+ present only when/if descriptor value
+ has been fetched.
+ }
+
+ When updating a descriptor value using SetProperty(),
+ only one descriptor at a time may be updated in order
+ to guarantee unambiguous error reporting. In other
+ words, when calling SetProperty('Descriptors', dict),
+ dict must have exactly one entry.
+
+ Descriptor's UUID may not be updated. If present, it is
+ ignored by SetProperty().
