fixed racy behavior in rtspserver tests

Running simultaneously test instances, will sooner or later lead to failed test
results.
Investigate the get_unused_port function. After a successful call to bind, the
port information is retrieved and returned (used later as a global variable
test_port).
The problem is that, the function returns the port number after the socket has
been closed so the uniqueness of the test port is not guaranteed.

The attached patch suggests a solution to this problem.
