ExpressLRS Add BLE Telemetry device

Hi all! Not sure where to comment on this ... the author of this commit (@dz0ny) seems to have written code for using BLE as a telemetry device. Can somebody take a look at the code and see if they can figure out whether (a) it is intended to send telemetry between ELRS TX and ELRS RX or (b) to forward telemetry from ELRS RX via ELRS TX to a groundstation connected via BLE?

Hey it's meant to be telemetry endpoint on TX, skipping RC altogether.

Thank you for the prompt answer, dz0ny! So I'm understanding correctly that it's not inteded for connecting a laptop-based groundstation with the craft using something like Mavlink?

Hey @dz0ny since you are the author of this code/branch, do you want this PR open? If so the code will need to be updated and building on all platforms. If not then just let me know and I'll close this PR and you can open a new one when you are ready.

@sixtyfive this is not close to Mavlink, it would only expose telemetry data as BLE service that the apps then can use to show the data. We could say it's CRSF telemetry viewer.

@pkendall64 Please close, there was discussion on Discord and this approach is not the correct way.
