+ * Validate the configured bridge distribution method from a BridgeDistribution

+ *
+ * The input <b>bd</b>, is a string taken from the BridgeDistribution config
+ * line (if present).  If the option wasn't set, return 0 immediately.  The
+ * BridgeDistribution option is then validated.  Currently valid, recognised
+ * options are:
+ *
+ * - "none"
+ * - "any"
+ * - "https"
+ * - "email"
+ * - "moat"
+ * - "hyphae"
+ *
+ * If the option string is unrecognised, a warning will be logged and 0 is
+ * returned.  If the option string contains an invalid character, -1 is
+ * returned.
