This patch enables us to implement more I/O layers, particularly non-HCI ones. As of Bluetooth 5.1, standard HCI commands don't allow precise control over mesh-related advertising, making this I/O layer very inefficient. Therefore, it is desirable to have an option to use a non-HCI transport to talk to radio transceiver, at least until Bluetooth extends HCI so that standard BLE Controllers achieve good performance. Another use case would be a non-local radio: the mesh stack can run on a secure device, but due to physical constraints it might need to use radio transceiver located at a distance, connected e.g. via LAN.
