patch #10178: Inconsistent error codes when no ephemeral port is available

For UDP, lwIP will use the error code ERR_USE if no ephemeral port is available (in udp_bind, udp_connect or udp_send) but for TCP the error code ERR_BUF is used instead (tcp_bind and tcp_connect). Apart from being inconsistent, ERR_BUF also seems to be a strange error code in this case.

However, also the standard socket implementation is inconsistent (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ip.7.html):

“The error used to diagnose exhaustion of the ephemeral port range differs across the various system calls (connect(2), bind(2), listen(2), sendto(2)) that can assign ephemeral ports.”

The patch attached mimics the behaviour of connect, bind, listen and sendto as documented following the links on the above page.
