Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix connectable extended advertising when using static random address

Currently, the connectable flag used by the setup of an extended
advertising instance drives whether we require privacy when trying to pass
a random address to the advertising parameters (Own Address).
If privacy is not required, then it automatically falls back to using the
controller's public address. This can cause problems when using controllers
that do not have a public address set, but instead use a static random
address.

e.g. Assume a BLE controller that does not have a public address set.
The controller upon powering is set with a random static address by default
by the kernel.

	< HCI Command: LE Set Random Address (0x08|0x0005) plen 6
        	Address: E4:AF:26:D8:3E:3A (Static)
	> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4
	      LE Set Random Address (0x08|0x0005) ncmd 1
	        Status: Success (0x00)

Setting non-connectable extended advertisement parameters in bluetoothctl
mgmt

	add-ext-adv-params -r 0x801 -x 0x802 -P 2M -g 1

correctly sets Own address type as Random

	< HCI Command: LE Set Extended Advertising Parameters (0x08|0x0036)
	plen 25
		...
	    Own address type: Random (0x01)

Setting connectable extended advertisement parameters in bluetoothctl mgmt

	add-ext-adv-params -r 0x801 -x 0x802 -P 2M -g -c 1

mistakenly sets Own address type to Public (which causes to use Public
Address 00:00:00:00:00:00)

	< HCI Command: LE Set Extended Advertising Parameters (0x08|0x0036)
	plen 25
		...
	    Own address type: Public (0x00)

This causes either the controller to emit an Invalid Parameters error or to
mishandle the advertising.

This patch makes sure that we use the already set static random address
when requesting a connectable extended advertising when we don't require
privacy and our public address is not set (00:00:00:00:00:00).
