Re: [web-bluetooth] Device Discovery: suggest to add "Allow duplicate" in the BluetoothScanFilter

Note that 
[discovery](https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#dom-bluetooth-requestdevice)
 doesn't produce "events"; it fills a dialog from which the user can 
pick devices. The browser has to pick whether to receive the first or 
all advertising packets from each device, and we're finding [use 
cases](https://crbug.com/599056) that require us to aggregate 
information from multiple packets in order to decide whether to 
include a device in the dialog.

We are planning a Scanning API, which will need this sort of control 
over which advertising packets are delivered.
