on property:foo=bar is also triggered if foo is already set to bar so I don't
see what could happen wrong here.

I'm not sure if we are able to set properties back to proper state if service
exited in such case (that would trigger loop in init).

My idea was to use bluetooth.start/stop to start/stop (actually stop is needed
only for bluetoothd-snoop service) service by bluetooth user (sort of "sudo"
wrapper) but don't care about values in those props and if one want to use
props to track service lifetime then just use init.svc.bluetoothd{-snoop}
property.

I'm not sure, this was probably just copied from <4.2 android. Since we
start as root and drop caps I think this can be removed.
