Linus Torvalds 60c98fd75b Add back Mares BlueLink Pro bluetooth support tweaks
The Mares BlueLink Pro BLE dongle is the beast from hell, and introduces
lots of extra slowdowns into the Mares communication protocol.

In particular, it turns out that we really can't send the command bytes,
then wait for the ACK byte, and then send the command argument data as a
separate packet.  Because of the delays that the dongle adds, the dive
computer will have given up on the command arguments by the time it sees
them.

At the same time we don't want to always pass the command and arguments
as one single packet in all situations, because at least the Mares
Matrix really seems to want that "wait for ACK before sending
arguments".  See commit 59bfb0f3189b ("Add support for the Mares
Matrix") for details.

So introduce a new "splitcommand" flag, which is set by default, but
gets disabled for the BLE transport case.

Also, because bluetooth is slow, we don't want to ask for big packets of
data.  It seems to cause a buffer overflow on the BlueLink Pro when the
serial data from the dive computer arrives faster than the bluetooth
data can be sent to the downloading side.

So when using the BLE transport, we also limit the packet size to 128
bytes in addition to disabling the command splitting.

With this, I can download hundreds of kB of data from the Mares Quad Air
successfully over BLE.  It's *slow*, but it works.

This is a re-application of commit 5be8c17ea1 ("Mares bluetooth support
tweaks"), with small changes for how the libdivecomputer IO interfaces
have changed in the meantime.

Overview
========

Libdivecomputer is a cross-platform and open source library for
communication with dive computers from various manufacturers.

The official web site is:

  http://www.libdivecomputer.org/

The sourceforge project page is:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdivecomputer/

Installation
============

On UNIX-like systems (including Linux, Mac OS X, MinGW), use the
autotools based build system. Run the following commands from the top
directory (containing this file) to configure, build and install the
library and utilities:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make install

If you downloaded the libdivecomputer source code directly from the git
source code repository, then you need to create the configure script as
the first step:

  $ autoreconf --install

To uninstall libdivecomputer again, run:

  $ make uninstall
