bluetooth: host: Add flag to prevent client resubscription on reconnect

When set, the BT_GATT_SUBSCRIBE_FLAG_NO_RESUB flag indicates that the
subscription should not be renewed when reconnecting with the server.

This is useful if the application layer knows that the GATT server
persists subscription information.
