The `'listening'` event is emitted whenever a socket begins listening for
datagram messages. This occurs as soon as UDP sockets are created.
The `'listening'` event is emitted once the `dgram.Socket` is addressable and
can receive data. This happens either explicitly with `socket.bind()` or
implicitly the first time data is sent using `socket.send()`.
Until the `dgram.Socket` is listening, the underlying system resources do not
exist and calls such as `socket.address()` and `socket.setTTL()` will fail.
