[Live-devel] Groupsock handling in OnDemandServerMediaSubsession.cpp

Actually each time a Groupsock is created with a preferred port in 
constructor, I should add an error handling mechanism in case the 
port is already used. So the task will be difficult and quite 
risky. So, as I really need to have the possibility to use free 
ports only and I see there is no big interest for this for the 
existing library, I made a small patch to GroupsockHelper.ccp that 
test a compilation flag called DONOTREUSEPORT before seting 
SO_REUSE_ADDR and SO_REUSE_PORT. So, the whole livemedia code won't 
be impacted at all (default is false of course) and the feature can 
be simply activated if required by adding this flag in the 
Makefile(s).
