conf: More useful errors for kernels without SO_BINDTODEVICE
Before 5.7, the kernel didn't allow SO_BINDTODEVICE to be called
unprivileged. That means for earlier kernels, we can't implement binding
listening sockets to a specific interface (e.g. -t %eth0/80).
Currently we'll generate an error on this at the point we actually attempt
the SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt(), at which point the connection to the
command line option might not be entirely clear.
Use the fact we now probe for SO_BINDTODEVICE support to make a clearer
error message at the time we parse the forwarding option.
