Context: a relatively recent change meant that *all* config keys were
searched for any type that can be coerced to a `PortRange`, which was then
added to the set of "required open ports" by `SoftwareProcessImpl`. However,
since type coercions are defined from integer/long/string, this resulted in
spurious port values being added, and in at least one customer scenario, a
runtime exception when a value >16 bits was incorrectly subsumed into the port
set.
