  avahi-daemon fails to start if the kernel does not support
  SO_REUSEPORT

Bug description:
  When running with a version of avahi-daemon compiled with SO_REUSEPORT
  available, failure of this call fails startup of the daemon.  This
  occurs in the panda images where we have a very old kernel relative to
  userspace which does not support the call at all.

  Where this call fails ENOPROTOOPT that implies the call is not
  implemented, and if we ignore it we are in no worse situation that we
  were when the code was not supported.
