Soft kill on remote disconnect

The last thing we want is to have out-of-control behavior that's out of control.

Frequent disconnects on Linux with NetworkManager

Sometimes, unless Network Manager is stopped, gatt frequently reconnects and disconnects from the BLE chip. This may be due to the fact that wifi and bluetooth are implemented on the same card in my Macbook Pro 2015 since gatt takes complete control of the card, although this problem does not occur on macOS.

Buying a separate BLE adapter would probably help.

Vendored nanopb libs only execute on Linux

It is possible to run the nanopb protobuf compiler on macOS (and possibly Windows) by using a source checkout as described here.

WriteCharacteristic() blocks indefinitely after disconnect

Calling periph.WriteCharacteristic(characteristic, msg, true) blocks indefinitely after the bluetooth connection is closed. Since WriteCharacteristic() does this instead of returning an error, we cannot know for sure when to stop the goroutine from writing and thus cannot restart the connection without restarting the entire client.

It should also be noted that this only occurs if a message is send before an attempted reconnection.
