Please provide ability to set a "run-time" URL for the receiver. #48

The current method of using an application ID to look up the receiver URL from 
a registry is fine for testing and probably most large-scale production apps.  
However, for many apps it would be preferable to publish the receiver from the 
same device as the sender or another "server" on the local network.

Some example apps:
- Android apps for displaying device pictures, videos and audio.
- Media Server apps.
- Simple Games.

A few benefits:
- The developer doesn't have to maintain a public website indefinitely in order 
to host the receiver.  
- End users don't lose functionality for an app if the publisher goes out of 
business.
- The developer can issue new versions of the app without worrying about 
backward compatibility with a single public receiver.

This enhancement would open up the possibility of adding Chromecast support to 
many smaller Android app publishers that would otherwise be resistant.

It just occurred to me that there are Apps like Netflix and Google Play where 
this might cause some security issues.  Therefore, it might be necessary in the 
registration of each App to specify whether or not "run-time" receiver url is 
allowed.

Thank you for your support of Chromecast.  We've just released a major update 
to the Google Cast SDK and will be closing your issue.
