[RFC v2] Convert storage to use per-remote device directories

[Frederic Danis <frederic.danis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Here is my proposal for new storage directory structure using ini-file 
format.

Each adapter directory (/var/lib/bluetooth/<adapter address>/) will contain:
 - an adapter.conf file for the local adapter
 - an attribute_db.conf file containing attributes of supported LE services
 - one directory per remote device, named by remote device address. A 
directory will contain:
    - a device.conf file
    - a key file accessible only by root
    - an attribute_db.conf file containing attributes of remote LE services

So the directory structure should be:
    /var/lib/bluetooth/<adapter address>/
        ./adapter.conf
        ./attribute_db.conf
        ./<remote device address>/
            ./device.conf
            ./keys.conf
            ./attribute_db.conf
        ./<remote device address>/
            ./device.conf
            ./keys.conf
            ./attribute_db.conf
        ...


The adapter config file just need to be converted to ini-file format 
with only 1 group called [adapter], for example:
  [Adapter]
  Name=desktop-0
  Class=0x780011
  Pairable=true
  OnMode=discoverable
  Mode=discoverable

The attribute_db.conf file should be a list of handles (group name) with 
UUID and Value as keys, for example:
  [0x0001]
  UUID=00002800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
  Value=0018

  [0x0004]
  UUID=00002803-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
  Value=020600002A

  [0x0006]
  UUID=00002a00-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
  Value=4578616D706C6520446576696365


Remote device config file will include a [device] group with general 
device infos (name, alias, profiles or primary services list, ...), for 
example:
  [Device]
  Name=MyPhone
  Alias=Fred's phone
  Class=0x180204
  DeviceId=FFFF 0000 0000 0000
  EIR=040D040218
  Manufacturer=15
  LmpVersion=2
  LmpSubversion=777
  Features=FFFE0D0008080000
  LastSeen=2012-09-26 11:19:40 GMT
  LastUsed=2012-09-26 11:43:42 GMT
  Trusted=true

Profiles=00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb;00001103-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

For LE devices, LEAddressType entry should exist to distinguish 
LE-Public from LE-Random address.

Keys file will include informations related to link key or long term 
link key, for example:
  [LinkKey]
  Key=9EF4BDFA68C5438A176DF42ACD59816C
  Type=0
  Length=4

  [LongTermKey]
  Key=
  Authenticated=
  EncSize=
  EDiv=
  Rand=
