MEDIUM: config: emit a warning on a frontend without listener
Commit c6678e2 ("MEDIUM: config: authorize frontend and listen without bind")
completely removed the test for bind lines in frontends in order to make it
easier for automated tools to generate configs (eg: replacing a bind with
another one passing via a temporary config without any bind line). The
problem is that some common mistakes are totally hidden now. For example,
this apparently valid entry is silently ignored :
listen 1.2.3.4:8000
server s1 127.0.0.1:8000
Hint: 1.2.3.4:8000 is mistakenly the proxy name here.
Thus instead we now emit a warning to indicate that a frontend was found
with no listener. This should be backported to 1.5 to help spot abnormal
configurations.
