Added support to for SO_BINDTODEVICE on listening socket #494

I added support to bind the listen statement to an interface, not an IP address. The backgroubnd is IPv6, where I have trouble binding to all IPv6 adresses of an inferface on boot, because the IPv6 adresses are not usabel, yet.

With this pull-request the listen-statement in the config file accepts an interface name and tinyproxy does setsockopt(SO_BINDTODEVICE) on the interface to bind the socket to an interface.
