nimble/ll: Reschedule preempted adv event if possible

Currently we simply drop adv event if it was preempted, but instead we
can try to reschedule it as longs as new start time does not exceed
adv_delay limit.

Note that we only reschedule if no PDU was sent in that event, otherwise
we could not guarantee that aux is properly scheduled relative to exts.
