  -----------
  prowld.8: document hard-fail behavior for malformed socket host values

The Va host field description said what a missing value does (bind all
interfaces) but not what an invalid value does.  Before the inet_pton
fix the answer was "silently bind all interfaces"; now it is a hard
failure.  Document that the host string is validated with inet_pton(3),
that a malformed value logs LOG_ERR and places the job in the failed
state without falling back to INADDR_ANY, and give a concrete typo
example to make the network-exposure risk legible.
