[issue8576] test_support.find_unused_port can cause socket conflicts on Windows

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore <p.f.moore at gmail.com> added the comment:

Might work - but the only ones that were actually failing for me were test_multiprocessing and test_smtplib. So I'm not quite sure where/when the error would be raised on the remaining 2 (socket & httplib). But I'll keep it in mind.

To be honest, the remaining tests haven't actually failed in my experience, I'm now really only seeing if I can remove all uses of find_unused_port on the basis of Jean-Paul's comment that it's "the wrong approach".
