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.
