Side note: does the bluetooth code actually work on MacOS at all?

Because as part of reading the Qt Bluetooth docs (I'm resigned to
having to look at this myself), I noticed that the docs clearly say
that the "QBluetoothDeviceInfo::address()" data is invalid on MacOS
and iOS, and that you should use deviceUuid() instead.

I have a patch that tries to abstract the address use (attached), but
maybe the docs are just wrong. I have neither a mac nor a rfcomm dive
computer to test with.

So this patch may be pure garbage. Throwing it out here for comments
just in case.
