Introduce a deterministic algorithm for choosing a port for the aggregator server.

The workflow will probably be as follows: Director config will feature a new parameter open_ports listing one or more ports. This list will be tracked by the Director-service, which will provide one of the ports to the Aggregator at the start time.

Hi,

Thank you for doing this. Motivation behind this is that when one is working on secure system, it is important to open just as much ports as is needed, in a controlled fashion. With aggregator picking "random" port, it is rather problematic to achieve minimalisation of open ports.
