[2.0.0] BtClassic Discovery with info without connect (#4811)

Hey guys,
so I wanted to do a BtClassic Discovery without the need to call connect
and to list all found devices on a display and continue work with that list.

I wasn't capable to test the example code with my file structure, but I did use the discovery already in some different situations.

However when I noted that the Bluedroid stack won't let me enforce an RfComm SPP connection to a GPS Device (Skytraxx 2 plus, I guess its interface is built so simple that it doesn't advertise its SPP over SDP), I will probably have to switch to BtStack (BlueKitchen) and stop on this side meanwhile
