When send() triggers an implicit bind, the send operation is added to an internal queue. If a DNS error occurs during the bind, there is currently no mechanism for clearing the queue other than sending more data. If DNS errors keep occurring, the queue will continue to grow with no upper bound. This commit reports errors with implicit binds, and clears the queue. This should be fine,
given the nature of UDP.

No need in this case, because two types of errors are counted and checked on process exit.

This could have been simply assert(Array.isArray(socket._queue));
