Matt Hoosier a44430fe91 mdns: improve numerous aspects of Posix backend
Apple's default implementation of the Posix backend for mDNSResponder
has a number of weaknesses. Address several of them, most notably:

* Improve interface tracking, preventing confusion to mdns's state
  machine. Prevents spurious removal/republication cycles whenever
  network interfaces are added or removed.

* Support network interfaces whose indeces are great than 31. Indices
  grow past that range surprisingly quickly, especially with multi-
  homed, mobile, wifi, Bluetooth, VPN, VLANs, or other interfaces
  present.

* Correctly handle edge cases during removal of a network interface.

The fixes are kept as a patch series for clarity.

meta-networking
===============

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
packages and configuration.  It should be useful directly on top of
oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded.  It should be primarily useful
to the following groups:

      - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
        bridge / switch).

      - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
        anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies
------------

This layer depends on:

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.git
branch: master
revision: HEAD

For some recipes, the meta-oe layer is required:

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
subdirectory: meta-oe
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
subdirectory: meta-python
branch: master
revision: HEAD

Maintenance
-----------
