1. Support basic data communications use cases with asyncio semantics, ie. awaitable operations

sending WS-Discovery SOAPEnvelope message objects as defined in the generic base daemon
sending WS-Discovery UDP messsage objects with support for unicast, multicast, retrying etc.
receiving WS-Discovery SOAPEnvelope message objects as defined in the generic base daemon

2. Support integrating WS-Discovery into asyncio-based applications

Some ideas:

allow for registering async callbacks for when a (particular type of) message is received
expose awaitables for when a (particular type of) message is received
expose awaitables for higher-level discovery outcomes such as "service found", possibly returning all related objects ie. service, message, etc.
