[PATCH BlueZ v2] client: Avoid scan prompt when discovery is already active

[PATCH BlueZ v2] client: Avoid scan prompt when discovery is already active

[z4pdyy]

From: z4pdy <305461556+z4pdy@users.noreply.github.com>

Check the adapter's Discovering property before prompting the user
to start scanning. This avoids prompting to scan when discovery is
already in progress, which previously resulted
in an org.bluez.Error.InProgress error.

Changes in v2:
- Move variable declarations to the beginning of cmd_connect()
to fix the ISO C90 build failure.
