Bonjour/MDNS discovery support in openHAB

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. For future plug-and-play configuration of other applications accessing 
openHAB REST API it should be discoverable on the local network. The easiest 
way is Bonjour/MDNS which will provide openHAB an ability to announce it's 
existence on the local network. The standard name of openHAB service proposed 
is "_openhab-server._tcp" where openhab stands for the application name, server 
stands for the server instance of openHAB (there could be some other modules of 
openHAB on the network in future, announcing themselves, like clients, network 
devices, so we need to determine which particular openhab application/service 
is being announced).

2. A typical example use case would be a UI application (iOS, Android, other 
platforms) which is being configured to access openHAB server instance for the 
first time. Using Bonjour/MDNS it will be able to automatically discover 
openHAB server and connect to it without need to manually enter openHAB url.
