    Throw a more helpful exception when no nameservers specified/availableMy /etc/resolv.conf was wiped by Network Manager (gee, thanks), soircd.js was throwing the following unhelpful exceptions when startingup:Feb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any socketsFeb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any socketsFirst, instead of throwing a string, throw an Error object so we canactually know where the exception ocurred. Please, everyone, throw Errorsnot Strings.Second, throw a different more helpful exception if there are no nameserversspecified in the DNS constructor or configured on the system.

    Log Message:
    Don't return 0 when unable to parse integers.

    0 is a valid value, results are undefined.

    Validate the size of the message at each step and throw an error if
    something goes wrong.

    Should fix the issue where an IRC spammers DNS was detected as local,
    so the anti-spammer bot banned my server address intead of the
    spammers address.
