[v6,1/4] tests: Add test-listen - a stress test for QEMU socket listen

There's a potential race condition between multiple bind()'s
attempting to bind to the same port, which occasionally
allows more than one bind to succeed against the same port.

When a subsequent listen() call is made with the same socket
only one will succeed.

The current QEMU code does however not take this situation into account
and the listen will cause the code to break out and fail even
when there are actually available ports to use.

This test exposes two subtests:

/socket/listen-serial
/socket/listen-compete

The "compete" subtest creates a number of threads and have them all trying to bind
to the same port with a large enough offset input to
allow all threads to get it's own port.
The "serial" subtest just does the same, except in series in a
single thread.

The serial version passes, probably in most versions of QEMU.

The parallel version exposes the problem in a relatively reliable way,
eg. it fails a majority of times, but not with a 100% rate, occasional
passes can be seen. Nevertheless this is quite good given that
the bug was tricky to reproduce and has been left undetected for
a while.

The problem seems to be present in all versions of QEMU.

The original failure scenario occurred with VNC port allocation
in a traditional Xen based build, in different code
but with similar functionality.

Can you change that to "version 2 or later" - per the LICENSE file, we don't
accept contributions under "version 2 only" except for 4 specific subdirs:

Oh, sorry - I wasn't aware of this, +"...or later" is fine with me.
Would you like me to send a v7 of the set with only that change, or can you amend 
it as part of the merge?

Since its a copyright statement, I'd prefer if you just sent a v7. I've no
other comments, so will queue it for merge once you resend, and send a pull
request once 2.11 opens up.
