I don't remember such discussion, I remember we were discussing about
SetDiscoveryFilter, and it have option to filter by pathloss.
So I exposed TxPower for two reasons:
1. It's just a field in advertisement, and I wanted just to access it
as any other.
2. If I turn it into Pathloss field, it would change together with
RSSI, and PropertyChanged event will be doubled. Pathloss is very
simple to compute, so having only RSSI that change is more efficient.
