UPNP support #59

@ARoese

Description

@ARoese

When possible, the launcher should attempt to automatically forward a server's ports when it is launched. Use UPNP.

  • UPNP support should be generally verifiable without needing to launch a server
    • (low priority) we may want to be able to detect a double-NAT architecture
      • use a tracert to look for two hops on different private subnets?
      • (extremely low priority) use tracert or nmap info to nest UPNP mappings so they work across a double-NAT.
        • This might not be possible and would deserve to be an independent library if it was.
  • UPNP packets should not be sent without a user interaction that would reasonably be expected to trigger it.
    • Starting a server meets this requirement
  • Whether ports were successfully forwarded automatically should be visible in the GUI of that server
    • We could have a validation endpoint that probes a server's ports to detect if they are forwarded correctly and reports back their status.
      • This endpoint should require the server's key before probing it. We don't want this to be used as an amplifier for DDOS.
