SO_REUSEPORT feature support in JDK 9 for socket communication

[Mark Sheppard]

the following JBS item exists:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6432031

search of windows documentation suggests that SO_REUSEPORT is still not 
an option

man setsockopt on Solaris shows it as an option, but without precise 
description of semantics

regards
Mark
