Re: [web-bluetooth] Service and Characteric aliases not obvious (or missing) (#535)

The source file in the Chromium repository should not be the canonical source for the mapping from names to UUIDs. They should come from either the Bluetooth specifications or the Web Bluetooth specification.

Comments in that file point to pages on bluetooth.com which appear to be deprecated in favor of "16-bit UUID Numbers Document.pdf". This is unfortunate because the older documents provided clear names for each service and characteristic in a form like "org.bluetooth.characteristic.bond_management_feature" which we could use in the mapping. The new documents don't provide similarly useful strings that I would trust to remain consistent long term. Clearly even the old string format wasn't as long terms as we were hoping it would be.
