Infinite loop in _lws_vhost_init_server_af when binding to an invalid IP address

[atoppi]

env: lws 4.3-stable, Ubuntu 24.04, kernel 6.11

When starting a server with lws_create_vhost, the function _lws_vhost_init_server_af gets stuck in an infinite loop when trying to bind to a not valid IP (e.g. not available) address.

lws_socket_bind (https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/v4.3.3/lib/roles/http/server/server.c#L274) returns -1 (LWS_ITOSA_NOT_EXIST) and the initialization is stuck in this busy loop https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/v4.3.3/lib/roles/http/server/server.c#L105-L294.

Does the same problem exist on main branch?

No, it doesn't.
Seems to work properly on latest main.
