#feature-request Add support for multicast discovering neighbors #42

Description

@nickbash11

Description:

Hi, currently Mimir relies on manual peer setup, but adding multicast for automatic neighbor discovery would make it easier to bootstrap meshes, especially in local networks.

Details:

Why: Yggdrasil supports multicast (e.g., via UDP on 9001), so integrating it would allow auto-peering without manual config. Useful for dynamic setups or LAN meshes.

Proposed implementation:

Enable multicast in Yggdrasil config by default (MulticastInterfaces).
UI toggle in settings for enabling/disabling.
Handle security: Maybe limit to trusted networks or add auth.
