In fact we should have removed this when we removed the support for the
address on the "listen" lines. This feature used to be used this way :
listen foo :8080
server srv1 1.1.1.1 check
Since the server had no port, it used to make sense to pick the only valid port
of the whole instance by then... This is no longer true.
I don't think we'll break many setups, most broken ones will have already been
fixed after the removal of the syntax above.
Now merged, thanks.
