No test for "LOC" DNS records mandated by 5100.14 section 4.2.2

Is it appropriate to be requiring implementation of a non-standards track RFC? (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1876)  If not, then perhaps we should not be requiring implementation in 5100.14, which would reverse the position taken earlier.  Need to discuss on reflector.

We should NOT eliminate the requirement from 5100.14.  Best solution is to
- add test(s) to table 1
- add LOC record support to "ippfind" tool
- add tests to "bonjour-tests.sh" to exercise this and test for LOC records published by printers

PWG 5100.14 section 4.2.2 requires Printer objects to publish LOC records for their service.  But 5100.20 lacks a requirement to test for them.  (Should we eliminate them from 5100.14 or make them optional?)
