dgram: prefer strict equality, type validation

- Enforces strict comparisons in dgram - bindState should
always be strictly equal to one of the defined constant states,
and newHandle type is a string.

- Check that the argument `type` in createSocket is not null
when it is of type 'object', before using its `type` property.

- Adds a test to check dgram.createSocket is properly
validating its `type` argument.
