udp: Improve detail of UDP endpoint sanity checking

In udp_flow_new() we reject a flow if the endpoint isn't unicast, or it has
a zero endpoint port.  Those conditions aren't strictly illegal, but we
can't safely handle them at present:
 * Multicast UDP endpoints are certainly possible, but our current flow
   tracking only makes sense for simple unicast flows - we'll need
   different handling if we want to handle multicast flows in future
 * It's not entirely clear if port 0 is RFC-ishly correct, but for socket
   interfaces port 0 sometimes has a special meaning such as "pick the port
   for me, kernel".  That makes flows on port 0 unsafe to forward in the
   usual way.

For the same reason we also can't safely handle port 0 as our port.  In
principle that's also true for our address, however in the case of flows
initiated from a socket, we may not know our address since the socket
could be bound to 0.0.0.0 or ::, so we can only verify that our address
is unicast for flows initiated from the tap side.

Refine the current check in udp_flow_new() to slightly more detailed checks
in udp_flow_from_sock() and udp_flow_from_tap() to make what is and isn't
handled clearer.  This makes this checking more similar to what we do for
TCP connections.
