Finds currently available server ports within a certain port range. Code originally taken from Apache MINA. Note: If possible, it's preferable to let the party creating the server socket select the port (e.g. with new ServerSocket(0)) and then query it for the port chosen. With this class, there is always a risk that someone else grabs the port between the time it is returned from getNextAvailable() and the time the socket is created.
