This is bit weird I agree.
The fact is that if we want to send any read/write request to Android
Server App we need to have connection id for the server. So probably
we need to invoke connection cb for all the servers on any
incoming/outgoing connections. For now we do it only for incoming
connections just for testing. There is no single app using Server HAL
so we don't know how this actually should work.
