refactor: Simplify BLE protocol implementation and remove scope creep

Major cleanup of BLE interface implementation to focus on core identity-based
tracking goal while removing unnecessary complexity added during troubleshooting.

Key changes:
- Remove unified dual-connection architecture (single-direction connections)
- Remove Protocol v1 MAC-based compatibility fallbacks (~200 lines)
- Simplify connection handshake (handle_peripheral_data: 173→54 lines)
- Extract _compute_identity_hash() helper (DRY: 11 duplicates removed)
- Add 60s timeout to identity wait loop (prevent hung threads)
- Remove GATT characteristic descriptors (UUID 2901)
- Remove DIAGNOSTIC logging statements (~15 occurrences)
- Revert TX characteristic to 'notify' flag (better throughput)

Net reduction: 249 lines removed (473 deletions, 224 additions)

Maintains core functionality:
- Identity characteristic for stable tracking (MAC rotation immunity)
- Identity-based device naming (Protocol v2.1)
- MAC sorting for connection direction (Protocol v2.2)
- Identity-keyed fragmenters/reassemblers
