While the old way of preparing advertising data is still supported, an alternative enhanced method to build advertising packets is now available.
It consists in defining and configuring an object of type 'BLEAdvertisingData' to build the desired packet.
When it has been configured, by setting the appropriate parameters, it can be used to populate the advertising data packet or the scan response data packet.
Following this way, the user can decide in which packet each parameter should be put.
Also, it is now possible to configure an advertising packet (advertising or scan response) by passing a raw data packet.
If an advertising packet has a raw data parameter set, all its other parameters will be ignored.

Also, advertising parameters such as manufacturer data, service data or raw data should have a GLOBAL scope, because they are passed as pointers and are not copied internally.

…repos. (arduino-libraries#212)

…-libraries#215)

The `carlosperate/download-file-action` action is used in the GitHub Actions workflows as a convenient way to download
external resources.

A major version ref has been added to that repository. It will always point to the latest release of the "1" major
version series. This means it is no longer necessary to do a full pin of the action version in use as before.

Use of the major version ref will cause the workflow to use a stable version of the action, while also benefiting from
ongoing development to the action up until such time as a new major release of an action is made. At that time we would
need to evaluate whether any changes to the workflow are required by the breaking change that triggered the major
release before manually updating the major ref (e.g., uses: `carlosperate/download-file-action@v2`). I think this
approach strikes the right balance between stability and maintainability for these workflows.

…rduino-libraries#216)

Dependabot will periodically check the versions of all actions used in the repository's workflows. If any are found to
be outdated, it will submit a pull request to update them.

NOTE: Dependabot's PRs will occasionally propose to pin to the patch version of the action (e.g., updating
`uses: foo/bar@v1` to `uses: foo/[email protected]`). When the action author has provided a major version ref, use that instead
(e.g., `uses: foo/bar@v2`). Dependabot will automatically close its PR once the workflow has been updated.

On mbed-enabled platforms, the memory check can be activated via

```

  ....
  mbed_stats_heap_t heap_stats;
  mbed_stats_heap_get(&heap_stats);
  Serial.print("Heap size: ");
  Serial.print(heap_stats.current_size);
  Serial.print(" / ");
