If we use avahi we can let the user set the service name used for
DNS-SD. See the avahi.service(5) man page. (Disclaimer: I have never
used avahi so don't take my word for any of this.)

Announcing the .onion address on the LAN would effectively take out the
"hidden" from "Tor hidden service" since we consider the LAN as being
untrusted in our threat model (e.g. eavesdropping ISP-provided routers).
