all: change ManufacturerData from a map to a slice

This is a breaking change, but I believe it is necessary for
correctness. Because maps have an undefined iteration order, the actual
advertised packet could change each time which I think is a bad thing.
In addition to that, using a slice should be much more lightweight than
using a map.

I've also added some tests (that should have been there in the first
place) and added some manufacturer data to the advertisement example.

Furthermore, I've optimized the code that constructs manufacturer data
for raw advertisement payloads, it should now be entirely free of heap
allocations.
