[PATCH] conf: Allow binding to ports on an interface without a specific address

[Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>]

Somebody might want to bind listening sockets to a specific
interface, but not a specific address, and there isn't really a
reason to prevent that. For example:

  -t %eth0/2022

Alternatively, we support options such as -t 0.0.0.0%eth0/2022 and
-t ::%eth0/2022, but not together, for the same port.

Enable this kind of syntax and add examples to the man page.
