Disable outgoing SSDP requests when Chromecast support is disabled

See original GitHub issue

Users have reported that Brave makes outgoing connections on the local network to port 1900 (apparently ignoring any proxy settings):

This appears related to the SSDP protocol required for Chromecast support but we should make sure that these connections are turned off when that feature (see #209) is disabled.

Apparently turning off load-media-router-component-extension and media-router-cast-allow-all-ips in chrome://flags doesn’t help.
