Support for local MQTT broker (preview)

[grickettsnz]

Currently, when attempting to enable the experimental local MQTT broker I'm seeing issues with edgeHub not able to start and complaining about missing environment variables. I got about 6 deep trying to supply these env vars manually before giving up on that route.

Repro steps:

sudo iotedgehubdev setup -c "<CONNECTION STRING>"
iotedgehubdev start -d deployment.json

Example deployment manifest:

{
  "$schema-template": "1.0.0",
  "modulesContent": {
    "$edgeAgent": {
      "properties.desired": {
        "schemaVersion": "1.1",

          "settings": {
            "minDockerVersion": "v1.25",
            "loggingOptions": "",
            "registryCredentials": {}
          }
        },
        "systemModules": {

            }
          },
          "edgeHub": {

            "status": "running",
            "restartPolicy": "always",
            "settings": {
              "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/azureiotedge-hub:1.2",
              "createOptions": "{\"HostConfig\":{\"PortBindings\":{\"5671/tcp\":[{\"HostPort\":\"5671\"}],\"8883/tcp\":[{\"HostPort\":\"8883\"}],\"443/tcp\":[{\"HostPort\":\"443\"}],\"1883/tcp\":[{\"HostPort\":\"1883\"}]}}}"
            },

                "value": "true"
              },
              "experimentalFeatures__enabled": {
                "value": "true"
              },
              "RuntimeLogLevel": {
                "value": "debug"
              }
            }
          }
        },
        "modules": {         
        }
      }
    },
    "$edgeHub": {
      "properties.desired": {
        "schemaVersion": "1.2",
        "routes": {

        },
        "storeAndForwardConfiguration": {

        },

            {
              "identities": ["{{iot:identity}}"],
              "allow": [
                {
                  "operations": ["mqtt:connect"]
                }
              ]
            },
            {
              "identities": ["{{iot:identity}}"],
              "allow": [
                {
                  "operations": ["mqtt:publish", "mqtt:subscribe"],
                  "resources": ["test_topic"]
                }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Example error:

...
at Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Edge.Hub.Service.Program.Main() in /home/vsts/work/1/s/edge-hub/core/src/Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Edge.Hub.Service/Program.cs:line 36

Error: IOTEDGE_DEVICEID

Caused by:
environment variable not found

Removing the 'experimentalFeatures__mqttBrokerEnabled' env variable allows edgeHub to start normally.

Hello @grickettsnz, thank you for reporting this issue. As of now, the iotedgehubdev tool does not support the MQTT broker feature yet. We will investigate and let you know once we have an update.
