For UDP sockets, listen for datagrams on a named `port` and optional `address`.
If `address` is not specified, the OS will try to listen on all addresses.

The `callback` argument, if provided, is added as a one-shot `'listening'`
event listener.
A bound datagram socket keeps the node process running to receive
datagrams.
