Martin Vrachev 5d9a6f6598 Tests: Queue replace tmp files, OS port creation
These changes can be summarized with the following bullets:
- Delegate generation of ports used for the tests to the OS
- Use thread-safe Queue for processes communication
instead of temporary files
- Remove all instances of port generation or hardcoded ports
- Make test_slow_retrieval.py fully conform with TestServerProcess

Delegate generation of ports used for the tests to the OS is much
better than if we manually generate them, because there is always
a chance that the port we have randomly pick turns out to be taken.
By giving 0 to the port argument we ask the OS to give us
an arbitrary unused port.

Use thread-safe Queue for processes communication instead of temporary
files became a necessity because of findings made by Jussi Kukkonen.
With the latest changes made in pr 1192 we were rapidly reading
from the temporary files and Jussi found that it happened rarely
the successful message "bind succeded..." to be corrupted.
It seems, this is a thread issue related to the thread redirecting
the subprocess stdout to the temp file and our thread rapidly
reading from the file.
By using a thread-safe Queue we eliminate this possibility.
For reference read:

Lastly, test_slow_retrieval.py and slow_retrieval.py were refactored.
Until now, slow_retrieval.py couldn't use the TestServerProcess class
from utils.py for a port generation because of a bug related to
httpd.handle_request().
Now, when we use httpd.serve_forever() we can refactor both of those
files and fully conform with TestServerProcess.
