bluetooth: Default to discoverable off

Try to not expose bluetooth devices to external devices unless the user
explicitly configures it, like any other radio/network device.  Bluetooth
has a long history of security problems and it is probably best to keep it
disabled if not needed.

Users who do use the bluetooth device should enable "discoverable" in
bluetooth.device.conf(5) after this change.

Keep in mind that bluetooth addresses can be discovered by passive
monitoring or whole address-space scans[0], so a safety conscious user
should also disable "connectable" in bluetooth.device.conf(5).
