This change adds support for zero-configuration networking (Bonjour/mDNS) to allow iOS clients to automatically discover and connect to servers running on the local network. On the server side, a new `Bonjour` class has been added to handle the advertising of the service. It manually constructs and broadcasts mDNS packets containing the necessary PTR, SRV, and A records. This is done without modifying the `multicast_dns` package, by using a `RawDatagramSocket`. On the client side, a new server discovery dialog has been added to the settings menu. This dialog uses the `multicast_dns` package to discover servers advertising the `_frosthaven._tcp.local` service. When a user selects a server from the list, the IP address and port are automatically populated in the connection fields.
