Pairing Initiated from Central Device

[guruprasath-sterna]

While using the nRF SoftDevice for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications, there is a need to initiate the pairing process from the central device when establishing a connection with a peripheral device. However, no official documentation or examples demonstrating how to achieve central-initiated pairing with the nRF SoftDevice have been found.

I don't think anyone has needed central pairing yet, so it hasn't been implemented. Should be reasonably straightforward to add, but you'd need to refer to the softdevice sequence diagrams and API to add the missing bits. PRs welcome!
