doc/gatt-api.txt already states that D-Bus ObjectManager is mandatory
for external services (both in the top-level description and the
GattManager1 API description). Then again I'm wondering if we just
shouldn't use ObjectManager at all. Eitherway, we should either use
ObjectManager or use Properties.GetAll but not both.
