Title:
  [FFE] Enable wsdd backend by default

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The wsdd backend in gvfs allows Nautilus, and potentially other
  clients, to discover Windows 10+ network folders (SMB), using the WS-
  Discovery protocol.

  gvfs implements this feature by using `wsdd` if it is installed. This
  change thus adds wsdd as a Recommended dependency. wsdd itself
  received a MIR ack, including a security review. It is confined by
  AppArmor by default.

  Adding this dependency would not impact other parts of the system,
  other than exposing an additional functionality in Nautilus.

  I've verified that with wsdd installed Nautilus sees the Windows 11
  host on my local network. The actual browsing of the SMB share is not
  part of the wsdd functionality, who's role is merely that of
  discovery.
