#21810: Port rebind should not be performed after soft accounting limit reached

A relay operator reports:
* their relay had accounting set
* it reached the soft limit and marked all connections for close
* when the period ended, it estimated that it would be active for the
entire period
* then it attempted to rebind to ports, even though it had never closed
the listeners
This appears to be a simple state management issue:

I don't think the issue is restricted to OpenBSD.
I don't know if it's a regression, and I don't know if it should be fixed
in 0.3.0. Given how annoying and confusing it is, we should probably
backport it.
