When Bluetooth is disabled a RuntimeException is thrown instead of BluetoothStateException

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Disable Bluetooth on a device
2. Run the BlueCove tests
3. A RuntimeException will be thrown saying "BluetoothStack not detected"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

   A BluetoothStateException is thrown by other JSR-82 implementations for
this use case.  I know this to be true for Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson,
and the Sun WTK.  Also Avetana's implementation does this.  BlackBerry
phones actually prompt the user to enable Bluetooth in such a situation.
   BlueCove throws a RuntimeException.  This makes it difficult for a
program to catch this exception and warn the user.  After all a
RuntimeException is very generic and can be from other situations too.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

   This happens with BlueCove 2.0.1.

Please provide any additional information below.

   com.intel.bluetooth.BlueCoveImpl line 182 says:

     throw new RuntimeException("BluetoothStack not detected");

   It should say something like:

     throw new BluetoothStateException("Bluetooth stack not detected. 
Bluetooth must be enabled on the device.");

• Changed state: Accepted

Made initial refactoring for the use of the reference to used BluetoothStack.
Now BluetoothStateException is thrown when required.

fixed initialization exceptions, e.g. BluetoothStateException when device is not
ready or no stack found
