83 windows local name #89

Addressed, to some extent, issue #83

This is more of a workaround than a solution. WinRT reserves some of the bluetooth advertising packet properties, local_name (the property that broadcasts the name of the service) isone of those reserved properties.

However, the workaround is to change the name the device broadcasts for everything by renaming the bluetooth module within the bluetooth windows associated registry key.
