net: fix handle unaligned memory access in net_context_bind()

This commit addresses an issue in net_context_bind() where unaligned
memory access was not properly handled when checking for INADDR_ANY.
The problem primarily affected MCUs like ARMv6 that don't support
unaligned memory access.

- Use UNALIGNED_GET() to safely access the sin_addr.s_addr field
- Ensures correct behavior on architectures with alignment restrictions

This fix improves compatibility and prevents potential crashes or
unexpected behavior on affected platforms.
