Add helper function for synchronous execution of HCI commands at probe
stage and use this function to check firmware state of Intel Wireless
8260/8265 bluetooth devices found in many post 2016 year laptops.
Attempt to initialize FreeBSD bluetooth stack while such a device is in
bootloader mode locks the adapter hardly so it requires power on/off
cycle to restore.
This change blocks ng_ubt attachment unless operational firmware is
loaded thus preventing the lock up.

These makefiles work when building in the sys/modules directory, but
not with the objdir stuff that buildkernel uses. This is because they
used -I../../../blah rather than -I${.CURDIR}/../../../blah.
# I didn't fix the abuse of CFLAGS to specify -g since I wanted the
# barest minimal change since we're in a code freeze.

Hat for armchair anarchists: core member fixing src tree damage
Has been seen to work on several cards and communicating with
several mobile phones to use them as modems etc.
We are still talking with 3com to try get them to allow us to include
the firmware for their pccard in the driver but the driver is here..
In the mean time
it can be downloaded from the 3com website and loaded using the utility
bt3cfw(8) (supplied) (instructions in the man page)
Not yet linked to the build
