We don't do automatic memory management, this is not Java or Python or
anything ;-)

You should always free your own resources, however the final
avahi_client_free() will also free all attached objects, like
browsers, resolvers, entry groups. Freeing the client will do the big
clean up. OTOH this means that you are not supposed to use any of the
attached objects after calling avahi_client_free()!
