[Bug 1080656] [NEW] bluetooth-wizard crashes when the name of a discovered device is NULL

[Till Kamppeter]

Public bug reported:

If you scan for pairing-ready Bluetooth devices and one of the device's
names is NULL, bluetooth-wizard shows the alias based on the devices
address, like 00-26-55-09-6A-9C (and "bt-adapter -d" of bluez-tools
shows "Name: (null)"). If you click on such an entry in bluetooth-wizard
(or move the selection to such an entry with the cursor keys), the
wizard simply crashes, making it impossible to pair this device.

I observed this in Quantal both on a standard 64-bit Intel PC and on the Nexus 7.
