Choose ports for test servers less likely to result in conflicts
If we choose ports in the range typically used for ephemeral ports there is a danger of encountering a port conflict due to a race condition between the time we choose the port in a range below that typically used to allocate ephemeral ports, but higher than the range typically used by well known services. Author: Jelte Fenema-Nio, with some editing by me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/d6ee8761-39d1-0033-1afb-d5a57ee056f2@gmail.com Backpatch to all live branches (12 and up)
