Add more mdns txt records to support Arduino IDE flashing

[beikeland]

In order to upload sketches from the newer versions of the IDE the device also have to broadcast more txt records.

upload_ssh=no preferably port=23, there is also a parameter for upload_auth=no|yes but it does not seem to be required at this time.

Maybe you could add a check if the mDNS service name is _arduino._tcp you could also add the txt records to help the Arduino IDE?

I would have tried patching it, but I couldn't get the build env set up. esp-link is awesome btw!

thanks for the info! do you have a link to some doc or source where I can see the exact list of txt records?

Think this is the closest arduino/Arduino#4107
I ran tests against 1.6.11 just before and its only upload_ssh that stops it from working now.

Just as a curious tidbit; oddly enough it was not successfull to forge the mdns records from another host, despite windows host seeing the records correctly, arduino ide ignored it.

the txt record are: ssh_upload not upload_ssh
this are the records from esp8266 arduino project
tcp_check=no ssh_upload=no board=generic auth_upload=no
and this from esplink
vendor\ =\ Espressif upload_ssh=no
i can't make a pull request, excuse me
thanks

oops, thanks for the correction!

Looking at https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/arduino-core/src/cc/arduino/packages/discoverers/NetworkDiscovery.java#L155-L168 it seems to me that tcp_check=yes is what we need and is default, and that auth_upload also defaults to no. I don't want to interfere with the board selection. So I think the only thing I need to do is to change upload_ssh to ssh_upload.
