FS#677 - [avahi] avahi publishes the hostname by default

By default, the ‘disable-publishing’ parameter in the [publish] section of avahi-daemon.conf is set to ‘no’, which can be seen in my opinion as a privacy issue as avahi broadcasts the hostname without the user’s consent even though this has been explicitly disabled in the settings of networkmanager.

Additional comments about closing:

Implemented the complete removal of avahi for all packages or don't adding them. We won't support Linux-only frameworks starting with version 0.4 of Hyperbola.
