MDNS query

[pyxiscloud]

nodemcu firmware stil can't connect to devices with avahi-daemon service.
for example it can't connect to "raspberrypi.local"
propose need to add port 5353 to "net" module, then connect to multicast, set dnsserver and it will work?

Not sure this may be intergated in net module (or elsewhere) because MDNS is not part of LWIP.
But I think that MDNS resolution may (and should) be implemented in mdns module.

I don't have any experience with using nodemcu as a mdns client. The approach outlined by @reejinbouk ought to work.

@pjsg @djphoenix just found this: http://desperate-programmers.com/2016/02/02/an-update-to-mdns-querries-yay/

the .c file provides the parsing routines, while the lua code has the high level stuff
