Hello,

Here's a v2 that now provides a complete chain. "guix publish" services that
are started with "--enable-avahi" will be discovered by the "guix-daemon" when
the "--use-local-publish" option is passed.

A new "guix discover" script is used to discover publish services in the
background. I have tested this setup by starting a guix-publish server in a
VM.

As suggested here:
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2017/reproducible-builds-a-status-update/ the local
publish servers are prefixed to the substitute-url list, so that the daemon
will try to use substitute from the local network first, before falling back
to the CI build farm.

Thanks,

Mathieu

As discussed on IRC, this is very cool stuff!
