Joachim Wiberg 7804787201 doc: update discovery document
Overhaul text and grammar.  Simplify, correct, and add information about
the new mDNS settings.  Replace 'unit' with 'device', which is the more
common term for hardware.

Joachim Wiberg c6fae88268 Fix #166: drop SSDP entirely from Infix
mDNS-SD was added in Windows 10 Creators Update[1] (build 1703), relased
April 11, 2017.  This makes SSDP no longer critical for finding an Infix
device in Windows, both ping infix-01-02-03.local and using Chrome work.

Since all major operating systems now support mDNS-SD[2] we've decided
to standardize on that and LLDP for Infix and its derivatives.  Other
reasons for dropping it include, but is not limited to: lack of IPv6 in
the implementation we use, and potential security implications[3].
