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].
