#16507: Bonjour SDK not needed for Windows build

-------------------------+-----------------------------
Pidgin for Windows only requires the `dns_sd.h` header from Bonjour SDK in
order to enable support for this protocol. There is a `dnssd.lib` binary
which is used only when `LINK_DNS_SD_DIRECTLY` is specified, however this
requires redistribution of the sources.
That header seems to be licensed under 3-clause BSD, meaning it could be
merged into the code base and eliminate the dependency on the Bonjour SDK,
which requires registration with Apple in order to be downloaded and is
one of the steps [[https://launchpad.net/pidgin-windev|Pidgin Windev]] for
example cannot automate.
