BLEHIDDevice::setReportMap

Description
Set the HID report map characteristics with a HID report descriptor.

Notes and Warnings
The HID report map characteristic can only be configured after BLEHIDDevice init() function is called.
HID report descriptor is a hard coded array of bytes that describe the device’s data packets. For example, how many packets the device supports, how large are the packets and the purpose of each byte and bits in the packets.
For more information on HID report descriptor, refer to (https://eleccelerator.com/tutorial-about-usb-hid-report-descriptors/).
