Add the ability to suppress mdns service scans for some services (#256)

- When we are already running a ServiceBrowser for services that netdisco scans for
  we will already have all the answers we expect to get in the cache. By scanning
  for these services again, we generate additional network traffic. Since the
  known answer list was not shared between ServiceBrowsers in earlier versions
  of zeroconf, we will send an empty list which will cause every services we
  already have in the cache to be re-populated.
