Bluetooth: Workaround directed advertising bug in Broadcom controllers

It appears that some Broadcom controllers (eg BCM20702A0) reject LE Set
Advertising Parameters command if advertising intervals provided are not
within range for undirected and low duty directed advertising.

Workaround this bug by populating min and max intervals with 'valid'
values.

< HCI Command: LE Set Advertising Parameters (0x08|0x0006) plen 15
        Min advertising interval: 0.000 msec (0x0000)
        Max advertising interval: 0.000 msec (0x0000)
        Type: Connectable directed - ADV_DIRECT_IND (high duty cycle) (0x01)
        Own address type: Public (0x00)
        Direct address type: Random (0x01)
        Direct address: E2:F0:7B:9F:DC:F4 (Static)
        Channel map: 37, 38, 39 (0x07)
        Filter policy: Allow Scan Request from Any, Allow Connect Request from Any (0x00)
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
      LE Set Advertising Parameters (0x08|0x0006) ncmd 1
        Status: Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12)
