If fwd_listen_init() fails while switching to new forwarding rules
received from pesto, we currently close the old listening sockets,
report an error and keep the (partially bound) new rules. That leaves
pasta in a state the user didn't ask for.
Make fwd_listen_switch() return the result of fwd_listen_init(), and
call it a second time from conf_handler() on failure to switch back
to the old rules.
Don't reset the count of the old table after closing its sockets, so
that the old rules stay in c->fwd_pending and can be restored. The
pending tables are cleared by conf_handler() before receiving new
rules anyway.
Note that reporting the failure to the client is left for a later patch.

This is a follow-up to the discussion on the dropped patch linked above.
Tested with:
$ pasta --ns-ifname=tap0 --mtu=65520 --config-net --address=10.0.2.100 \
--netmask=24 --gateway=10.0.2.2 --dns-forward=10.0.2.3 --no-map-gw \
--tcp-ns=none --udp-ns=none --ipv4-only --tcp-ports=none \
--udp-ports=none --conf-path=/tmp/.pasta.sock \
-- python3 -m http.server 80
$ pesto -A --tcp-ports=127.0.0.1/8085:80 /tmp/.pasta.sock
$ pesto -A --tcp-ports=192.0.2.1/8080:80 /tmp/.pasta.sock
$ pesto -s /tmp/.pasta.sock
passt/pasta configuration (/tmp/.pasta.sock)
HOST
TCP [127.0.0.1]:8085 => 80
SPLICE
$ curl -sI localhost:8085 | head -1
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
pasta logs:
Listen failed for HOST TCP port 192.0.2.1/8080: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't listen on requested ports
Error switching to new forwarding rules
and the rule for port 8085 keeps working. Adding another valid rule
afterwards works as before.
