Description
Currently, an application subscribes to notifications or indications by performing a GATT write procedure on the appropriate CCCD. Knowing which two-byte pattern to write, and remembering to use little-endian, feels a bit too low-level to impose on the application developer.
I suggest we add two helper functions:
```
int
ble_gattc_subscribe_notifications(uint16_t conn_handle, uint16_t cccd_handle,
ble_gatt_attr_fn *cb, void *cb_arg);
int
ble_gattc_subscribe_indications(uint16_t conn_handle, uint16_t cccd_handle,
ble_gatt_attr_fn *cb, void *cb_arg);
```

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing GATT write procedure used for CCCD subscription and trace how notification and indication values are encoded; done means the proposed helpers provide the requested subscription behavior while accepting the callback and argument parameters.
