tcp, udp, conf: Don't silently ignore listens on unsupported IP versions
Currently, it's possible to explicitly ask for forwarding from an IPv4 address, while disabling IPv4: $ pasta -t 192.0.2.1/12345 -6 or vice versa: $ pasta -t 2001:db8::1/12345 -4 Currently, the impossible to implement forwarding option will be silently ignored. That's potentially confusing since in a complex setup, it might not be obvious why the requested forward isn't taking effect. Specifically, it's ignored at a fairly low level: tcp_listen() and udp_listen() ignore it and return 0. Those run kind of late to give a good error message. Change the low-level functions to return -EAFNOSUPPORT. Most callers of {tcp,udp}_listen() ignore the return code, so this is a no-op for them. In the remaining caller, conf_ports_range_except() check for the case explicitly, and provide a meaningful error message. Of itself, this bug is insignificant, but this is a roadblock to having {tcp,udp}_listen() return socket fds, which in turn is a roadblock to my flexible forwarding work. So, might as well fix it.
