Discussion/Feature Request: Support NAME requests for BLE #27

For privacy reasons, most Apple devices, and some Android devices use randomized Bluetooth addresses when not paired to a host device. Devices do however use their real address when responding to a NAME request, but that request must already include the real address in the request.

Other projects, such as Monitor use a "known BLE addresses" list, and then issue NAME requests to figure out a device's real Bluetooth address.

Is this something that would be useful to FIND when doing passive scanning, or does it have some other way of consistently identifying a device?
