dgram: improve signature of Socket.prototype.send

- Do not require presence of `address` parameter to use `callback`
  parameter; `address` is *always* optional
- Improve exception messaging if `address` is invalid type
- If `address` is an invalid type, guarantee a synchronously thrown
  exception
- Update documentation to reflect signature changes
- Add coverage around valid, undocumented types for `address` parameter.
- Add coverage around known invalid, but uncovered, types for `address`
  parameter.
