Description

Currently the RestServerEndpoint binds to the port specified by RestOptions#PORT. PORT is of type integer. Sometimes, it would be useful to being able to specify not only a single port but a port range to pick a port from. Therefore, I propose to add similar to RestOptions#BIND_ADDRESS another option RestOptions#BIND_PORT which allows to specify a port range for the RestServerEndpoint to pick a port from. RestOptions#PORT would then only be used by the client to connect to the started RestServerEndpoint.
