Subject: [RESEND PATCH liburing v1 00/12] Introducing t_bind_ephemeral_port() function

[ RESEND to the correct address now. ]

Hi,

After discussing an intermittent bind() issue with Dylan, I decided to
introduce a new helper function, t_bind_ephemeral_port().

## Problem:
We have many places where we need to bind() a socket to any unused port
number. To achieve that, the current approach does one of the following
mechanisms:

  1) Randomly brute force the port number until the bind() syscall
     succeeds.

  2) Use a static port at compile time (randomly chosen too).

This is not reliable and it results in an intermittent issue (test
fails when the selected port is in use).

## Solution:
Setting @addr->sin_port to zero on a bind() syscall lets the kernel
choose a port number that is not in use. The caller then can know the
port number to be bound by invoking a getsockname() syscall after
bind() succeeds.

Wrap this procedure in a new function called t_bind_ephemeral_port().
The selected port will be returned into @addr->sin_port, the caller
can use it later to connect() or whatever they need.

## Patchset summary:
There are 12 patches in this series, summary:
1) Patch #1 introduces a new helper function t_bind_ephemeral_port().
2) Patch #2 to #6 get rid of the port number brute force mechanism.
3) Patch #7 to #12 stop using a static port number.
