Bluetooth: controller: Enable back-to-back chaining for periodic adv

This enables chaining ota for periodic advertising. AUX_CHAIN_IND PDUs
will be sent automatically if AuxPtr is detected in preceding PDU.
AuxPtr offset is always set to achieve minimal required frame spacing,
i.e. 300us (T_mafs). AuxPtr in all PDUs in advertising train are
updated on enqueue since PDU spacing is already known at that time so
we do not need to waste time in LLL.
