    Log Message:
    Throw a more helpful exception when no nameservers specified/available

    My /etc/resolv.conf was wiped by Network Manager (gee, thanks), so
    ircd.js was throwing the following unhelpful exceptions when starting
    up:
    Feb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any sockets
    Feb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any sockets

    First, instead of throwing a string, throw an Error object so we can
    actually know where the exception ocurred. Please, everyone, throw Errors
    not Strings.

    Second, throw a different more helpful exception if there are no nameservers specified in the DNS constructor or configured on the system.

    Resolve some crashes/exceptions observed today when used by ircd.js

    ircd.js kept crashing on startup on vert with these errors, right after it logged:
    Accepting new connection on port 6667
    0832 Accepted new connection: 71.95.196.36 port 55646

    Modified Files:
    exec/load/dns.js
    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.
