tests/acceptance: pick a random gdb port for reverse debugging

Currently the test randomly fails if you are using a shared machine
due to contention on the well known port 1234. We can ameliorate this
a bit by picking a random non-ephemeral port although it doesn't
totally avoid the problem. While we could use a totally unique socket
address for debugging it is fiddly to probe for gdb support. While gdb
socket debugging is not yet ubiquitous this a sub-optimal but workable
option.
