gnirehtet uses the same port as BOINC (31416) #165

I kept having the following issue:

./gnirehtet run
2019-01-18 11:44:38.343 INFO Main: Starting relay server...
2019-01-18 11:44:38.344 INFO Main: Checking gnirehtet client...
2019-01-18 11:44:38.344 ERROR Main: Execution error: IO error: Address already in use (os error 98)

A quick strace shows that gnirehtet tries to bind to port 31416, and a quick netstat shows me that I already have BOINC listening on that port.

I know it's complicated not to conflict with any of the numerous projects in the wild, but I think BOINC is quite an important one, and changing the default port is not that hard, and should have little consequences.

This is also related to #41, since allowing to change the port easily at run time would help in that situation.

I can make a PR if needed (not before February though).

Changing it will probably conflict with something else. 31416 is 10000π. I would like to keep it as the default :)

Yes, changing port at runtime would be a good solution.

Yep, for sure... :/

Best argument ever :'D ♥

Then I'll let you handle this problem as itself. I'm closing the issue.
