Summary
This PR adds additional setting for the BLE iBecon sensor which allows for advertise mode selection (how often the iBecon is advertised).
Before this was hardcoded to be in low power mode (1Hz), after the change it is possible to select all three modes of operation: low power, balanced or low latency (low power mode is still the default)
The three first screenshots are from the HA app showing the setting itself. The fourth screenshot is from the nRF Connect app which I used to verify the broadcasts.
Results which I've observed are as follows (broadcasting device: samsung note 8, receiving device: samsung note 10 plus):

(if required I'll add screenshots in light mode right away)
