Broadcast on artnet

[Joebayld]

I need to enable broadcast on the artnet driver. I added this code to make it work.

self.dev.on('listening', function(){
    self.dev.setBroadcast(true);
});

Should we add it to the master? Or maybe have an option to enable broadcast?

The setBroadcast() call seems reasonable. Is the event handler for 'listening' actually required or could we just do setBroadcast directly below the self.dev = dgram.createSocket('udp4') line?

I tried adding it below and it didn’t work. Upon research, I found this solution and it works.

ok great, thanks for confirming that. Do you want to create a pull request?

I found a more elegant way to solve this by including the broadcast enable in a bind closure. Tested and working.
