Allow using port=0 when creating a Controller to use an OS-assigned port. Using port=0 is useful for ephemeral servers (eg for tests) where a given port can't necessarily be guaranteed to be available.
Are there changes in behavior for the user?
No changes to existing behaviour (when specifying a non-zero port, or leaving it at the default).

Checklist
[x] I think the code is well written
[x] Unit tests for the changes exist
[x] tox testenvs have been executed in the following environments:
[x] Linux (Ubuntu 22.04): py310-nocov (test_server.py only)
Note: I've not been able to get the full test suite to run locally - it appears to hang within test_main.py. I've successfully run the test_server.py tests though...
