I pushed all my changes. The changes to substrate are trivial:

• making service/chain_spec modules pub
• enable mdns on dev chains so that the light client can discover the node
• disable root checking in the fetcher
• try getting blocks to finalize by setting justification_period to 1, but that doesn't seem to work

To reproduce (assumes the substrate/substrate-subxt are side by side):

cd substrate-subxt/light-client
./gen-chain-spec.sh
./run.sh
cargo test -- test_light_client --ignored
