    Turn --services-discovery into a string advanced option · 13fb436d

    Modules list was intended for plain static module names. It does not
    work right for most SD plugins, including:
     - LUA (dependent on string chain),
     - udev (submodules),
     - media directories (submodules).
    
    It works but is totally useless for those plugins that are fast,
    including XCB screen capture and Windows optical drives.
    
    For network-based discovery and MTP, it could be used to prefetch
    items. But this is not necessarily a good idea as it sends extra
    network traffic and consumes memory even when the services discovery
    is not used. Furthermore, podcast can prevent Qt4 and Skins2 UI from
    starting, as it depends on HTTP which depends on libproxy which
    depends on Xlib.
