socket: don't transfer bind family to socket in case of ANY address

With the introduction of multisocket, we need to transfer the
AI family of the bound address to the socket, as it may differ
from what was set globally.

However, this operation makes sense only when getaddrinfo()
for bind is performed on a non-empty hostname.
An empty hostname (ANY) may return AF_INET which will break
following connection attempts to v6 only remotes.
