Adv Monitor is released for various reasons. For example, incorrect RSSI
parameters, incorrect monitor type, non-overlapping RSSI thresholds,
etc.

Return this release reason along with the Release event for the better
visibility to clients.

Shouldn't this be sent as a reply to the method registering the monitor?

> Applications can create an Advertisement Monitor D-Bus object any time before or after registering the root path with BlueZ. BlueZ processes monitors once it receives ProxyAdded callback from D-Bus once a Monitor is created on an already registered root path or once the root path is registered for already created monitors. So, monitor Activate/Release methods are called later asynchronously to notify applications about acceptance or rejection of the monitor.

We should probably document this then, so I suppose one can register
the root path without having any monitors so they can be added/removed
later?
