KAFKA-4260: Check for nonroutable address in advertised.listeners As described in KAFKA-4260, when `listeners=PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092` (note the 0.0.0.0 "bind all interfaces" IP address) and `advertised.listeners` is not specified it defaults to `listeners`, but it makes no sense to advertise 0.0.0.0 as it's not a routable IP address. This patch checks for a 0.0.0.0 host in `advertised.listeners` (whether via default or not) and fails with a meaningful error if it's found.
