[Bug 1948625] [NEW] Automatically discover Centralized Discovery Controller - TP 8009

[Reshmi Aravind]

Private bug reported:

NVMe-oF suffers from a well-known discovery problem that fundamentally limits the size of realistic deployments. To address this discovery problem, the FMDS working group (within nvme.org) is working on two proposals that will allow NVMe-oF to be managed via a “network centric” provisioning process instead of an “end-node centric” one.
TP-8009 (this launchpad): will enable the Automated Discovery of NVMe-oF Discovery Controllers in an IP Network and will prevent an end-user from needing to manually configure the IP Address of Discovery Controllers.
TP-8010 (): will define the concept of a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) and will allow end-users to manage connectivity from a single point of management on an IP Fabric by IP Fabric basis.
This request is for Ubuntu 22.04 and later to ensure the presence and activation of the avahi daemon on Ubuntu installs and Ubuntu Installer(subiquity) environment.

Here is the code that implements TP8009 and TP8010:
