Creates a listening connection.
The `address` parameter specifies 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` parameter 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.
Returns a new listening connection or `NULL` on error.
NOTE: The connection remains owned by the manager, do not free().
