[Bug 297573] [NEW PORT] dns/mdns_ws: Convenience port to advertise hosts via mdnsd

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297573

--- Comment #7 from Bruce M Simpson <[email protected]> ---
I didn't package the other scripts krolingo wrote, because they simply weren't
needed for my use case, which was just to get FreeBSD advertising workstation
records, and so enable mDNS to be used practically to address FreeBSD nodes.

The license was specifically given upstream as: "Use freely. Attribution
appreciated but not required." This seems like "Public domain" to me and that's
covered by CC0 usually.

I'm specifically NOT using Avahi due to its bloat and dependency chain; I think
we all know why some of us prefer not to use it for additional non-technical
reasons.

I think I had problems with mDNSResponderPosix; it is VERY chatty in syslog,
unnecessarily, but yes, I double checked and that's the mdnsd being used.

Adding a uid: sure, I reworked the patch to do that, but haven't updated it
here yet; I was originally using nobody to remain consistent with mdnsd 
itself.

Sure enough the service subcommands need reworking; lack of restart just bit
me; I am largely rushing to tree-clean here so garden rakes will happen.
