In a couple of recent reports, we've seen that it can be useful for pasta to forward ports from addresses which are not currently configured on the host, but might be in future. That can be done with the sysctl net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind, but that does require CAP_NET_ADMIN to set in the first place. We can allow the same thing on a per-socket basis with the IP_FREEBIND (or IPV6_FREEBIND) socket option. Add a --freebind command line argument to enable this socket option on all listening sockets.
