Subject: [PATCH] host/gap: add function that returns free advertising instance

ble_gap_adv_get_free_instance browses through list of advertising
instances and returns first that is not yet configured. Previously,
user had to track which instance is used by themselves, and could only
check if advertising is active, via ble_gap_ext_adv_active
