Stephen Warren 04df3adb54 Add an LLMNR responder implementation (#2880)
This is a simple implementation of an LLMNR responder for the ESP8266
Arduino package. Only support for advertizing a single hostname is
currently implemented.

LLMNR is a very similar protocol to MDNS. The primary practical
difference is that Windows systems (at least Windows 7 and later;
perhaps earlier) support the protocol out-of-the-box, whereas additional
software is required to support MDNS. However, Linux support is
currently more complex, and MacOS X support appears non-existent.

ESP8266 LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution)
====================================================
This is a simple implementation of an LLMNR responder the ESP8266 Arduino
package. Only support for advertizing a single hostname is currently
implemented.
LLMNR is a very similar protocol to MDNS. The primary practical difference is
that Windows systems (at least Windows 7 and later; perhaps earlier) support
the protocol out-of-the-box, whereas additional software is required to support
MDNS. However, Linux support is currently more complex, and MacOS X support
appears non-existent.
Requirements
------------
- ESP8266WiFi library
- LLMNR support in your operating system/client machines:
- For Windows, support is already built in (in Windows 7 at least).
- For Linux, the systemd-resolve application supports LLMNR.
- For Mac OSX: Unknown; likely not supported.
Usage
-----
1. Install this repository using the instructions in the top-levle README.md
file.
2. Include the ESP8266LLMNR library in the sketch.
3. Call the LLMNR.begin() method in the sketch's setup() function, and provide
the hostname to advertize. This should not include any ".local" prefix.
4. If ESP8266 AP mode is enabled, disabled, or the WiFi or AP configuration is
changed, call LLMNR.notify_ap_change() after the change is made.
See the included LLMNR + HTTP server sketch for a full example.

Caveats
-------
1. LLMNR implementations MUST support EDNS0 [RFC2671] and extended RCODE
values. It is likely that this implementation does not; I have not read
that RFC.
2. LLMNR responders MUST support listening for TCP queries. This implementation
does not.
3. On receiving an LLMNR query, the responder MUST check whether it was sent to
an LLMNR multicast addresses defined in Section 2. If it was sent to another
multicast address, then the query MUST be silently discarded. This
implementation makes no such check; it is hoped that the ESP8266 network
stack filters out such packets since the code only joins the relevant
multicast group and does not listen for unicast packets. This assumption may
be invalid.
4. Prior to sending an LLMNR response with the 'T' bit clear, a responder
configured with a UNIQUE name MUST verify that there is no other host within
the scope of LLMNR query propagation that is authoritative for the same name
on that interface. This implementation performs no such verification.
5. Prior to verifying that its name is UNIQUE, a responder MUST set the 'T' bit
in responses. This implementation does not; it assumes that name is unique
and responds with the 'T' bit clear in all cases.
6. To verify uniqueness, a responder MUST send an LLMNR query with the 'C' bit
clear, over all protocols on which it responds to LLMNR queries (IPv4 and/or
IPv6). This implementation does not.
