Create listening connection.
`address` parameter tells which address to bind to. It's format is the same
as for the `mg_connect()` call, where `HOST` part is optional. `address`
can be just a port number, e.g. `:8000`. To bind to a specific interface,
an IP address can be specified, e.g. `1.2.3.4:8000`. By default, a TCP
connection is created. To create UDP connection, prepend `udp://` prefix,
e.g. `udp://:8000`. To summarize, `address` paramer has following format:
`[PROTO://][IP_ADDRESS]:PORT`, where `PROTO` could be `tcp` or `udp`.
See the `mg_bind_opts` structure for a description of the optional
parameters.
Return a new listening connection, or `NULL` on error.
NOTE: Connection remains owned by the manager, do not free().
