Terminate the loaded target before logging it, validate udp addresses on the raw lwip branch too, and resolve the socket default in the lwip_tcp test

Decide the listener failure policy in setup, enforce the slot limit once, and reject lwip_tcp through the resolved socket implementation only
Warn when any UDP address is dropped and print the boot delay with PRIu32
