Add mix discovery command for device discovery
Uses :mndp library and delegates to mix mndp.discover. If we switch discovery method over time this means we can fairly easily switch without changing the command.
It requires MNDP to be running in your app and a matching change to mix nerves.new might be reasonable to include mndp.
I am not sure we are happy to put this in yet or if mndp needs some time to bake. I really like what it would bring in terms of dev convenience.
You run mix discover and get:
This doesn't have the risk of collision with system implementations and general weirdness that we get with mDNS. Maybe we will find other weirdness? I don't know. But it seems rad.

@lawik I really like MNDP, but I think I need to spend some time using this in anger before elevating it to Nerves core tooling. The good part is that everyone can use mix mndp.discover right now without any changes to Nerves.
Entirely fair. I'm fine with these PRs idling or being closed and we go in for it when it feels ready.
We're moving to use igniter for installing everything, so closing in anticipation for working on that.
