server: correctly adjudicate collision bind() of specific port
On Linux (at least) SO_REUSEADDR, which allows a new listener to bind while an existing sock is in FIN-WAIT. Apparently this allows any number of sockets to bind(), but only when listen() to succeed. Further, on Linux there is a known documented race condition which can result in all listen() failing. It isn't clear how to handle this case without a potentially infinite loop, so ignore it. If this happens, then eg. no PVA server will get port 5075. So when probing for another listener, it is necessary to enter the listening state. When this fails, the socket is no longer usable for another bind(), so it is necessary to allocate another for the next attempt.
