net: fail closed when BlockList peer address is unavailable

When a net.Server is configured with a `blockList`, the peer address is
looked up with getpeername() and checked before the connection is
accepted. If the peer address cannot be obtained (for example, the
connection was reset before getpeername(), causing
uv_tcp_getpeername() to return ENOTCONN), the access-control check was
silently skipped and the connection proceeded, allowing a blocked peer to
reach the application's 'connection' handler (fail open).

Fail closed: when a BlockList is configured but the peer address cannot be
determined, close the connection instead of bypassing the check. A
connection whose peer address cannot be obtained cannot be proven to be
allowed, so it must be refused.
