BLE scanning does not work when extended advertising is disabled #14053

Description of defect

When the BLE stack is configured to disable extended advertising as below:

"ble.ble-feature-periodic-advertising": false,
"ble.ble-feature-extended-advertising": false

Scanning behavior is unexpectedly affected. Specifically, after initiating scanning, a registered Gap::EventHandler's onAdvertisingReport callback will never be executed.

I have tested this behavior on the nRF52832 so far.

Note: Scanning behavior is NOT affected when only ble.ble-feature-periodic-advertising is set to false.

Target(s) affected by this defect ?

NRF52_DK

Possibly NRF52840_DK and other BLE targets.

Toolchain(s) (name and version) displaying this defect ?

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 9-2019-q4-major) 9.2.1 20191025 (release) [ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599]

What version of Mbed-os are you using (tag or sha) ?

How is this defect reproduced ?

Add the following configuration options to a BLE application that performs basic ("classic" I suppose?) scanning (eg: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-ble/tree/master/BLE_GAP):

"ble.ble-feature-periodic-advertising": false,
"ble.ble-feature-extended-advertising": false
