I did some investigation into this.
These cluster_port/backend_port are used to generate default.ini config
file. Not sure why they are not there from the start, but that's separate topic.
For eunit tests we (must) have the following config chain: default.ini,
eunit.ini, local.ini. The eunit.ini overrides default.ini ports with 0 ones
making them random.
So your problem is not here, but in some test that not uses these random
ports, but tries to work with 5984. You need to find that and fix. This patch
fixes that in wrong way.
