broadcasting an Eddystone URL and running a GATT service simultaneously via RFDuino

@matthewsibigtroth this is a limitation of the BLEPeripheral API only one service UUID can be advertised. This was done to keep things simple on the nRF8001 initially, as well as the API.

The Eddystone service UUID is set in the constructor of EddystoneBeacon, maybe it should be moved to begin so user's can't override it.

@matthewsibigtroth anything to further discuss on this?

Thanks Sandeep. This makes sense and was honestly an oversight on my part. I'll make the added GATT service UUID match up with that of the Eddystone beacon and I believe that should allow for both the GATT service AND the URL broadcasting to be simultaneously functional. In short, nothing further to discuss. :)

@matthewsibigtroth no problem.

I've pushed a change (e381d25) to prevent overriding the advertised service UUID if EddystoneBeacon is used.
