Some tests have to stop/start a server multiple time with the same
listening address. Doing so without SO_REUSADDR leads to failures due to
the socket still being in TIME_WAIT right after the first instance
stop/before the second instance start. Instead of letting each test
manually set SO_REUSEADDR on their servers, it can be done automatically
by start_server_addr for all tests (and without any major downside).
Enforce SO_REUSEADDR in start_server_addr for all tests.
