Filter scan correctly when one advertising class has no prefixes

start_scan() did not handle the case of mixing an Advertisement class with no prefixes with classes with some prefixes. This is used in examples/ble_detailed_scan.py.

7.0.0 - Backwards compatible change in how advertising prefixes can be specified

This release includes:

• Advertisement-matching prefixes are now specified as tuples of prefixes.
  You no longer need to count up the bytes and include a length byte in front of each subprefix.
• The class attribute has been renamed from prefix to match_prefixes. This is an incompatible change; but other BLE libraries have been updated to support it, so you will have to update those libraries as well.
• All the definitions of get(self, obj, cls) now check for obj is None, and return self in that case. This is because MicroPython/CircuitPython don't invoke descriptor protocol on obj's class, but CPython does.
• Catch when microcontroller is not present, such as when running in CPython.
  Windows doesn't have os.uname(), so catch that.
• Make it easier and clearer for an Advertisement subclass to change the behavior of matches() from all to any.

6.1.3 - check that initial_value is explicitly None

IntCharacteristic, FloatCharacteristic, and StructCharacteristic were not checking that initial_value was explicitly None, but just that it was false. This made it not possible to give an initial value of 0, 0.0, or b'', respectively.
