Description

Originally we didn't rely on jetty.port as it's container specific - but rather than require you specify the port twice in this case, we should simply use jetty.port when it's there.

The example from the SolrCloud wiki:
java -Djetty.port=7574 -DhostPort=7574 -DzkHost=localhost:9983 -jar start.jar

instead becomes:
java -Djetty.port=7574 -DzkHost=localhost:9983 -jar start.jar

We should also look at simply specifying the shard name in this example case (see the solrwiki examples) by system property rather than asking the user to edit solr.xml.
