[mesh-dev] mDNS "gateway" for service-browser and service-announcement

Hey so I was looking into the ability to broadcast mDNS across subnets, so
that a client of a node could broadcast a service across the whole
10.0.0.0/8 mesh subnet.

If I'm reading the page correctly, it looks like avahi-daemon supports this
functionality with:

*enable-reflector=yes*


That being said, it seems that on openwrt avahi-daemon requires the
following additional packages: avahi-daemon, libavahi, libexpat, and
libdbus, which total ~250kB

I know that Marc was working on a mini-mdns package, but I assume that the
dns reflection might be a more involved task (also not sure how stable we
could get it).


I'm going to install it on a couple nodes and test it out, but I guess we
can keep an eye on space/memory constraints.
