Primitive: Network process crash on WebRTC UDP socket creation with empty address
Triage note: IPC-reachable NetworkRTCProvider::CreateUDPSocket crashed the RTC thread when given an empty address; fix rejects empty-address socket creation (test sends CreateUDPSocket with empty String via IPCTestingAPI), a web-reachable network-process DoS.

Security-relevant, below the exploitable-grade bar for a full root-cause writeup. The triage verdict is above; the side-by-side patch is below.
