#17319: Support Windows 10 mDNS/DNS-SD
-------------------------+---------------------------------

So Microsoft has, at some point in the last few years, finally started
supporting mDNS and DNS-SD natively in Windows. Installing Apple's
implementation on top of that is pretty broken since they'd have to listen
to the same port. It'd be ''much'' better if we could use Microsoft's
built-in one.
The only official documentation I've found is for UWP apps:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
us/uwp/api/windows.networking.servicediscovery.dnssd
but at least one person has gotten it to work with win32 apps at some
point: https://github.com/stammen/dnssd-uwp (That library is unsupported,
but it proves it's possible at least!)
