Add mdns name configuration option
Add the mdns name configuration variable to control the mdns hostname.
The default is to use the NETBIOS name of the system to match previous
versions which is typically the hostname in all capitals. A value of mdns
can be provided to defer the hostname to the mdns library.
With the recent patch to support time machine being merged this patch
allows for a user to configure the server name that is advertised to
be lower cased through Avahi advertisements.
