Add AVAHI option for PULSEAUDIO

I actually know nothing about pipewire, but it's a dependency for some
must-have desktop applications.
I prefer not to have unused applications installed - especially network
related.
But I do use pulseaudio - not because preferred over jack, which I know not=
hing
about too, but because it's the best overlapping option for my xfce-based
desktop environment.
With this option, I can reduce the avahi-app dependency, otherwise
ungoogled-chromium (depending on pipiewire) would install this completely
unused application.

The attached patch also changes defaults: PULSEAUDIO (_without_
module-pulse-zeroconf) instead of JACK - this might be not generally
beneficial... In my case it is, but whoever decided JACK is the one to use =
by
default should decide if this is still the best choice.
