RFE: UPNP support about freelan HOT 7 CLOSED

I begin an initial implementation for UPnP support with libminiupnpc. You can follow/test with the upnp branch.

@s-vincent Terrific news ! You seem unstoppable these days ! I like that ;)

One way could be to allow a shell command to be set in config file that would run the upnp function.

For example using the PortMapper can be a simple multi-platform solution:

java -jar PortMapper.jar -add -externalPort 1200 -internalPort 1200 [-ip <ip-addr>] -description desc

The libminiupnpc (C library) is portable on GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows so it can be a good candidate.

The code to add a mapping does not seems too much complicated: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25789141.

Great news. Thanks, Sebastien.

I especially like the fact that miniupnp is maintained already in Debian. Even if it seems to be using a pretty old upstream version (from 2014).
