Fedora 25, BlueZ 5.44 - change Bluetooth name

This one took some time to figure out. It seems bluetoothd does not use the DisablePlugin= setting in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. To change the bluetooth name, follow the next steps.

Change the Name and other settings as you wish in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.
Create a new environment file /etc/sysconfig/bluetoothd and add options. The noplugin option lets you disable the hostname plugin that will set the bluetooth name to the hostname.
```
OPTIONS=--noplugin=hostname
```

Edit the bluetooth service and add the lines below. It will create an override.conf file for the service:

systemctl edit bluetooth

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/bluetoothd
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd ${OPTIONS}

Reload the systemd config:
```
systemctl daemon-reload
```
Restart the bluetooth service:
```
systemctl restart bluetooth
```

The daemon should be running with the options you've configured:

pgrep -a bluetooth
5494 /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=hostname

Test with:
```
bt-adapter -i
```
