Currently this supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in Central, Peripheral,
Broadcaster, and Observer roles, as well as GATT Server and Client and L2CAP

This API is intended to match the low-level Bluetooth protocol and provide
building-blocks for higher-level abstractions such as specific device types.

Pairing and bonding
-------------------
Pairing allows a connection to be encrypted and authenticated via exchange
of secrets (with optional MITM protection via passkey authentication).
Bonding is the process of storing those secrets into non-volatile storage.
When bonded, a device is able to resolve a resolvable private address (RPA)
from another device based on the stored identity resolving key (IRK).
To support bonding, an application must implement the ``_IRQ_GET_SECRET``
and ``_IRQ_SET_SECRET`` events.
**Note:** This is currently only supported when using the NimBLE stack on
STM32 and Unix (not ESP32).
.. method:: BLE.gap_pair(conn_handle, /)

Before calling this, ensure that the ``io``, ``mitm``, ``le_secure``, and

On successful pairing, the ``_IRQ_ENCRYPTION_UPDATE`` event will be raised.
