[avahi] Patch to build avahi on Solaris

I have found that specifying CPPFLAGS was not necessary.

Specifying /usr/sfw/include in CFLAGS is required for expat as expat.h 
is in /usr/sfw/include.

Specifying -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D__EXTENSIONS__ in CFLAGS is required to
compile avahi-core/socket.c.

Specifying LDFLAGS is required because libexpat.so is in /usr/sfw/lib. 
-lnsl -lsocket is required to make domain-test build because of 
unresolved references to inet_pton and inet_ntop.
