samples: bluetooth: add Device Name sample
Add a new BLE sample demonstrating how a peer can read and write the GAP Device Name characteristic (UUID 0x2A00) over BLE. The sample: - Advertises with a configurable default device name. - Allows connected peers to write a new name with open permissions. - Updates the SoftDevice GAP name and advertising data immediately. - Persists the new name to flash (BM ZMS) so it survives reboots. - Loads the saved name from storage on boot, falling back to the Kconfig default if none exists. Includes sample documentation and changelog entry. Signed-off-by: Martynas Smilingis <martynas.smilingis@nordicsemi.no>

The GAP Device Name sample demonstrates how to read and write the BLE GAP Device Name characteristic using |BMlong|.
11+
A connected peer can change the device name over BLE. The new name takes effect immediately, persists across disconnects, and survives power cycles.

Overview
141+
********
142+
143+
The sample advertises with a configurable device name and allows any connected peer to write a new name to the GAP Device Name characteristic (UUID 0x2A00).
144+
When a new name is written:
145+
* The SoftDevice GAP name is updated immediately.
146+
* The advertising data is refreshed so scanners see the new name after disconnect.
147+
* The name is saved to flash (BM ZMS) so it persists across reboots.
148+
149+
On boot, the sample loads the previously saved name from storage.
150+
If none exists, it falls back to the default configured via :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SAMPLE_BLE_DEVICE_NAME`.

This sample can be found under :file:`samples/bluetooth/ble_device_name/` in the |BMshort| folder structure.
165+
166+
For details on how to create, configure, and program a sample, see :ref:`getting_started_with_the_samples`.
167+
168+
Testing
169+
=======
170+
171+
1. Compile and program the application.
172+
#. Connect the device to the computer.
173+
#. Connect to the kit with a terminal emulator (for example, the `Serial Terminal app`_).
174+
#. Reset the kit.
175+
#. Observe that ``Advertising as nRF_BM_GAP_DN`` is printed in the terminal.
176+
You can configure this default name using the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SAMPLE_BLE_DEVICE_NAME` Kconfig option.
177+
#. Open the nRF Connect for Mobile or Desktop app and connect to the device.
178+
#. In the GAP service, find the **Device Name** characteristic (UUID 0x2A00).
179+
#. Read the current name to verify it matches the advertised name.
180+
#. Write a new name (for example, ``MyDevice``).
181+
#. Observe that the terminal prints::
182+
183+
Device name updated (8 bytes)
184+
New name
185+
4d 79 44 65 76 69 63 65 |MyDevice
186+
187+
#. Observe that ``Device name persisted to storage`` is printed shortly after.
188+
#. Disconnect from the device.
189+
#. Perform new scan using the nRF Connect for Mobile or Desktop.
190+
#. Observe that the device now advertises with the new name ``MyDevice``.
191+
#. Reset the kit and observe that the saved name is loaded from storage and used for advertising.
