Whether to enable the mDNS NSS (Name Service Switch) plug-in.
Enabling it allows applications to resolve names in the `.local'
domain by transparently querying the Avahi daemon.
Warning: Currently, enabling this option breaks DNS lookups after
a `nixos-rebuild'. This is because `/etc/nsswitch.conf' is
updated to use `nss-mdns' but `libnss_mdns' is not in
applications' `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. The next time `/etc/profile' is
sourced, it will set up an appropriate `LD_LIBRARY_PATH', though.
