RFR: 8004317 TestLibrary.getUnusedRandomPort() fails intermittently, but exception not reported

[Jim Gish]

The initial code was a bit strange in that it started out with an int 
set to the min "reserved" port number.  I chose an Integer so I could 
start out with null rather than a magic number.

P.S. working on adding nestat -a output per Alan's suggestion.
