Re: [web-bluetooth] [watchAdvertisements] Support Extended Advertising (#604)

For Apple, there shouldn't be anything that needs to be done. It is all handled by the OS Bluetooth stack and there are no APIs for it. Same with Linux.

For Windows, there is a [AllowExtendedAdvertisements](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.bluetooth.advertisement.bluetoothleadvertisementwatcher.allowextendedadvertisements?view=winrt-26100) property that needs to be set to true.

Android was already mentioned in https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/issues/604#issuecomment-1513777397 as having a switch that needs to be set as well.

So this should just be a matter of always turning it on in the browser and no changes to the spec needed.
