Updated BLERemoteCharacteristic to exposre esp_gatt_auth_req_t parame… (#3531)

* Updated BLERemoteCharacteristic to exposre esp_gatt_auth_req_t parameter for readValue and writeValue.

* Updated BLERemoteCharacteristic/Descriptor to expose a setAuth method to allow tweaking the authentication request type for that remotecharacteristic/descriptor without the need to add auth on each read/write.
