Document ALL THE THINGS!
This release sees quite a bit of documentation added with a module doc from

Ubiquitous Devices
Our Rapid7 Labs team pulled the thread
[https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2019/02/01/ubiquiti-discovery-service-exposures/]

auxiliary/scanner/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_discover.rb) from jhart-r7
[https://github.com/jhart-r7]. This module uses a simple UDP protocol to
