Dynamic port for automated tests.
---------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-504
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-504
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: C++ Broker
            Reporter: Alan Conway


As development ramps up we will have multiple qpid builds on the same machine 
clashing for use of the AMQP default port.
All automated tests should use a *dynamically assigned* (i.e. bind(0)) port. 

Allowing a manually specified port number for tests doesn't solve the problem 
as there's no way to choose
a port that is guaranteed not to be used by any other test on the same host.

One way to do this:
- add qpidd --print-port option to print the actual bound port
- add qpid option processing to qpid client library, enable in all test 
programs. 
- test harness does "qpidd --daemon --port 0 --print-port" and sets the printed 
port to QPID_PORT in env for all test clients.
