Manually tested with different duplicate bindings.
```
./build/bin/bitcoind -bind=0.0.0.0=onion -bind=0.0.0.0=onion
./build/bin/bitcoind -bind=0.0.0.0 -bind=0.0.0.0
./build/bin/bitcoind -whitebind=relay@127.0.0.1:8333 -whitebind=mempool@127.0.0.1:8333
```
On master, the error message is misleading

💬 Sjors commented on pull request "index: Fix coinstats overflow":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30469#issuecomment-3270333059)
I built the index with v29.1 as well as c76797481155754329ec6a6f58e8402569043944.

`getblockstats` gives the same result for both at height 913,859. The new `coinstatsindex` directory is 213 MB, so a bit bigger than the original `coinstats`, but small in any case.
