Re sneaking the change into #340 - next time can you do it in a separate
PR, even if you merge that PR yourself immediately!

Maybe it is just the problem of socket `time_wait` status. But I'd have
thought it would be more deterministic, and would fail on other environments
(rather than just the shared jenkins) if that is the case.
I guess the alternative (that the port is snapped up by another process in
the few millisecond window) is pretty unlikely, particularly with unusual port
numbers like this!
I wonder if it could be more subtle: the socket might already be in a
time_wait state; we call `Networking.isPortAvailable` using `setReuseAddress`
so it works; we then call the `JmxService` without `setReuseAddress` and it
fails because the original socket is still there in `time_wait` state. Or is
that nonsense: does opening a socket with `setReuseAddress` cause the previous
time_wait socket to close immediately?

I don't particularly like us waiting up to 3 minutes in our test (as per
your observation in #329 that we want tests to be fast). I'd prefer
(medium-term) if we could retry with different port numbers instead.
But happy to see if your fix works!
