Actually I remembered wrong how the current code works. I thought it was
allowing multiple StartDiscovery() per app, but there's indeed a
hard-coded limit of just one. Keeping this policy around would allow
StopDiscovery to be used for StartDiscovery and StartServiceDiscovery
alike, and each app would then only be allowed to call one of those at a
time.
