Propagate a failed broker bind

In non-multiplexed go-plugin mode, GRPCBroker.Dial can return an error when it cannot obtain the host's ConnInfo within its five-second wait. dialLocked discards this error, and both BindHostBroker handlers return success. A later Host() call retries the same broker ID, but the host does not resend ConnInfo, so Host() can remain nil. Return the dial error from the bind RPC so the host can retry the bind.

In `@pkg/pluginsdk/runtime/runtime.go` around lines 265 - 301, Update dialLocked
and the BindHostBroker handlers to propagate GRPCBroker.Dial errors instead of
discarding them: return the error from dialLocked through the bind RPC so a
failed non-multiplexed broker bind is reported and the host can retry, while
preserving successful client initialization and existing Host() behavior.
