wrong version requirement for BlueZ on Linux

See original GitHub issue

Since 94163fa1d4929b243311988c420b2bcffb204270 (#61), write_gatt_char requires at least BlueZ 5.46, because AcquireWrite was not introduced before.

The current version checking logic in __init__.py and the readme files all claim that 5.43 is sufficient.

I’d argue that the default response=False did not really make sense, because that’s the stricter version requirement - but then again, with the exception in #138, chances are higher for people to find the parameter.

@afflux In my mind, the response=False was the simpler choice and thus the default behaviour. The other OS backends have no such version requirement demands, and I don’t want to change default behaviour for all of them.

It is now a regrettable byproduct of a choice I made in the advent of this project.
