Ganglion v3 firmware not detected on some MacOS versions

[philippitts]

Problem

The GUI uses the advertised name of the Ganglion Bluetooth device to determine which major version of the firmware is running. In some versions of MacOS, the device advertisement is read as "Simblee" rather than the intended advertised name. This prevents the correct firmware from being detected.

Originally reported by @retiutut.

Expected

Determine the correct version of the Ganglion firmware using native Bluetooth on all supported MacOS versions.

Operating System and Version

MacOS 10.15.7

GUI Version

This will need to be fixed in both the GUI Helpers Library and BrainFlow.
