Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Selecting an Orchestrator via a complex hexadecimal string is excessively complicated UX.

Describe the solution you'd like

As a Broadcaster, I want to be able to select an Orchestrator by specifying their ENS name.

For example, -ethOrchAddr livepool.eth should resolve to -ethOrchAddr 0xf4e8Ef0763BCB2B1aF693F5970a00050a6aC7E1B

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

None

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to resolve ENS names in Go using libraries like go ethereum's ENS resolver. Modify the CLI flag parsing in cmd/livepeer to accept both hexadecimal addresses and ENS names.
