Hey folks!
Just wanted to say thanks for KDE Connect - it's awesome.

I noticed a regression in device discovery and traced it to the switch from
Avahi to a new standalone mDNS library. My phone isn't being discovered
anymore.

I compiled the mDNS CLI https://github.com/mjansson/mdns/blob/main/mdns.c and
tested it directly. It fails to detect one of my phones - only finding two
devices (including itself) - while avahi-discover sees all devices correctly,
including my main phone. To rule out conflicts, I also started and stopped
avahi-daemon during testing and checked the ports in use with the program
shown, confirming there’s no interference between avahi-daemon and kdeconnectd
running simultaneously.

Additionally, the mDNS library seems to have unresolved issues and very limited
upstream activity:
https://github.com/mjansson/mdns/issues/60
https://github.com/mjansson/mdns/issues/92

I appreciate the move toward cross-platform compatibility, but this might
warrant reconsideration or a fallback mechanism using Avahi. Let me know if
logs or test output would help.
