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.
