readCharacteristic() doesn't return fail callback

[alexisduque]

When I call readCharacteristic() on a peripheral implementing PASSKEY security, Android often doesn't ask for passkey.

So readCharacterstic failed but neither success nor error callback are called.
However, using logcat, I can see that the API returns GATT_INSUFFICIENT_AUTHENTICATION (status = 5)
D/BluetoothGatt(23821): onCharacteristicRead() - Device=FD:8B:BA:4B:1D:27 UUID=f3851521-5942-b2cb-ae40-271cd0dd17e5 Status=0

I think this a bug in Android; my handler calls the error callback when it gets any status except SUCCESS.

On second thought, we might add a timeout of our own. Wouldn't report the proper error code, but at least it would report some error.

There is now support for explicit paring/bonding in the BLE plugin, that should help with this issue.

There are however reports of that this works a bit unstable, not sure if this is the plugin or the Android implementation. See this issue: #129

Closing this issue, let me know if to reopen.
