When passing a numeric string as port/service to getaddrinfo()
representing a number larger than 65535, the function will not
complain and will simply extract the lowest 16bits of the
converted number.

Specifically, the string is converted to int by calling strtoul()
and later it is moved to gaih_servtuple.num after passing through
htons().

For example, invoking getaddrinfo() with service equal to "70000"
will result in no error and ai_addr->sin_port set to 4464.

This issue was (re)discovered by researcher Anqi Chen while stress
testing OpenVPN with invalid config parameters.

Thanks a lot to Arne Schwabe for finding out that the root
cause was hidden inside glibc.

Similarly, also when passing 0 no error is thrown while it should.

Add proper check to reject invalid values immediately.

That step should also be checked for overflow.
