When analyzing bluetooth communication with multiple devices, one of the best
ways to distinguish which two devices are communicating is by connection
handle. These handles are present in HCI_CMD as bthci_cmd.connection_handle,
HCI_EVT as bthci_evt.connection_handle and in acl packets as bthci_acl.chandle.
It would be great to group them as single field for all bt protocols, or
provide a mechanism that enables user to set conditions for showing a field in
a column, or assemble the info shown in a column. The second solution might be
a bit better, as connection handles are not unique across adapters.
