This patch proposes new method, StartFilteredDiscovery to D-Bus Adapter
API for desktop bluetoothd. It will allow for rapid discovery of nearby
devices that advertise services.
It also adds FilteredDiscovery property, that is set to true when any
StartFilteredDiscovery session is active.

+ void StartFilteredDiscovery(dict filter)
+
+ This method starts the device discovery session with
+ filtering by uuids, and rssi or pathloss value. Use
+ StopDiscovery to release the sessions acquired.
+
+ Parameters that can be set in filter dictionary include
+ the following:
+
+ array{string} UUIDs : filtered service UUIDs (required)
+ int16 RSSI : RSSI threshold value (optional)
+ uint16 pathloss : Pathloss threshold value (optional)
+ string transport: type of scan to run
+
+ When a device is found that advertise any UUID from
+ UUIDs, it will be reported if:
+ - pathloss and RSSI are both empty,
+ - only pathloss param is set, device advertise TX pwer,
+ and computed pathloss is less than pathloss param,
+ - only RSSI param is set, and received RSSI is higher
+ than RSSI param,
+
+ transport parameter determines the type of scan:
+ "auto" - interleaved scan
+ "bredr" - br/edr inquiry
+ "le" - le only scan, default value
+
+ This process will start creating Device objects as new
+ devices matching criteria are discovered. It will also
+ emit PropertiesChanged signal for already existing
+ Device objects, with updated RSSI value.
+
+ StartDiscovery (SD) takes precedence over
+ StartFilteredDiscovery (SFD). That means that you should
+ check Discovering property before calling SFD, otherwise
+ it would fail when any SD session is in progress.
+ Calling SD when SFD is in progress pause all SFD
+ sessions, and start them back when all SD sessions are
+ finished. When filtered discovery state is changed,
+ FilteredDiscovery variable is updated accordingly.
