Tired of deleting Bluetooth PLISTs by hand.

- Aaron Pollack for encouraging me to unlock the repo for the world to reset their Bluetooth functionality.
- Ben Daschel @ https://github.com/supercoffee fixed my for loop modified from https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/use-a-for-loop-to-remove-file-in-unix/ and http://stackoverflow.com/a/20203051. He also added the "declare" bit for the plistsArray.
Notes
Took some spare parts from other websites and wrapped them into a functional shell script. Open to suggestions on how to improve.
Save your work. Needs to restart at the end of the script. Interestingly, it doesn’t need to re-pair previous devices upon reboot.
It’s worked 99% of the time for me when my PLISTs get corrupted and I get a broken Bluetooth symbol or have general Bluetooth issues.
