/**
 * Bind to a given IP/port and listen for new connections
 *
 * # Arguments
 *
 * * `host_ip` - a `net::ip::ip_addr` representing a unique IP
 * (versions 4 or 6)
 * * `port` - a uint representing the port to listen on
 * * `backlog` - a uint representing the number of incoming connections
 * to cache in memory
 * * `hl_loop` - a `uv::hl::high_level_loop` that the tcp request will run on
 * * `on_establish_cb` - a callback that is evaluated if/when the listener
 * is successfully established. it takes no parameters
 * * `new_connect_cb` - a callback to be evaluated, on the libuv thread,
 * whenever a client attempts to conect on the provided ip/port. the
 * callback's arguments are:
 *     * `new_conn` - an opaque type that can be passed to
 *     `net::tcp::accept` in order to be converted to a `tcp_socket`.
 *     * `kill_ch` - channel of type `core::comm::chan<option<tcp_err_data>>`.
 *     this channel can be used to send a message to cause `listen` to begin
 *     closing the underlying libuv data structures.
 *
 * # returns
 *
 * a `result` instance containing empty data of type `()` on a
 * successful/normal shutdown, and a `tcp_listen_err_data` enum in the event
 * of listen exiting because of an error
