dhcp: fix assertion starting DHCP client without MAC address (#10054)

An assertion in dhcp_network_bind_raw_socket() is triggered when
starting an sd_dhcp_client without setting a MAC address first.

  - sd_dhcp_client_start()
    - client_start()
      - client_start_delayed()
        - dhcp_network_bind_raw_socket()

In that case, the arp-type and MAC address is still unset. Note that
dhcp_network_bind_raw_socket() already checks for a valid arp-type
and MAC address below, so we should just gracefully return -EINVAL.

Maybe sd_dhcp_client_start() should fail earlier when starting without
MAC address. But the failure here will be correctly propagated and
the start aborted.
