TT should bail out early when mapred.job.tracker is bound to 0:0:0:0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-958
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-958
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tasktracker
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Steve Loughran


It's OK for your job tracker's config to tells the JobTracker to come up on 
port 0:0:0:0, but its not OK for the TaskTrackers to get the same 
mapred.job.tracker configuration value, as it stops the TT from being able to 
report its heartbeat.

This misconfiguration surfaces in the TT's {{offerService()}} routine catching 
and logging a ConnectionRefused exception every time it tries to heartbeat. Now 
we have improved the error message in such a situation, it is still a bit late 
in the process to encounter a problem which should be obvious the moment the TT 
looks at its configuration.


Better to have the TT refuse to start up if 
{{jobTrackAddr.getAddress().isAnyLocalAddress()}}.
