Emitter

[jacobrosenthal]

It would be nice to emit, or internally listen to emitters and use callbacks for async support. For instance its currently impossible to know when you've successfully stopped advertising so you can start again. Also it would be nice to be notified of advertisingStartError and servicesSetError.

@sandeepmistry offered to the solution just listen on the bleno singleton but it seems like these are in the domain of eddystone beacon and should be offered?

Anyway this should open it for discussion at least.

@jacobrosenthal thanks for starting the discussion.

Agreed, I think the following events are relevant: 'advertisingStartError', 'advertisingStart', 'advertisingStop'. What use cases were you thinking of for re-emitting the other bleno event?

Would changing the advertising API's to include an optional callback help?

Hadnt thought of a need for the others yet, but figured why not spit them
out while I was at it :)

Emitting vs callbacks is probably your preference. Callbacks can be
promisified easier...

I would say callbacks are the way to go for now. @don what do you think?
