A box called `bazzite-htpc` had no way to present itself as "Living Room"
short of renaming the machine. The new knob overrides the name everywhere
a human sees it: the GameStream serverinfo <hostname> element and the
mDNS service instance name both adverts carry. Unset (the default) is the
machine's own hostname, exactly as before.
Free text is the point, so the DNS-level name is now a separate concern
from the display name. The instance label may contain spaces and accents;
an A-record target may not, and mdns-sd rejects the whole ServiceInfo if
the target is not a legal name — which would take discovery down rather
than merely look wrong. dns_label() sanitizes the target and passes an
already-legal name through byte-for-byte, so hosts without the override
advertise precisely what they always did. The display name loses `.` (it
would split the label, and clients derive the name as the first label of
the fullname, so "Ben's PC v1.2" would arrive as "Ben's PC v1") and is
capped at the 63-byte DNS-SD ceiling on a char boundary.
