Requires API level 16 or higher. https://developer.android.com/training/connect-devices-wirelessly/nsd.html

[x] Check to see if it works with JmDns
[x] Add code to use JmDns if < API 16
[x] Add code to use NsdServiceInfo if >= API 16

At this point, the NSD service is pretty unstable. It causes my Galaxy Nexus to restart pretty often. But I was able to connect devices together using it, so in the future it seems like something we should move towards.

The code I used will probably work when it becomes more stable. It is currently in the android-nsd branch.
