What
This introduces the
--captive-core-peer-port=11625
parameter, which allows users to control which port Captive Core binds to when joining the Stellar network swarm.Why
Closes #3441.
Known limitations
No validation is done on the actual value passed in (aside from type == uint), so non-port values work. However, then Core will fail to start (with an appropriate error message, of course). We could try to "fail fast" instead, but we don't do this for the HTTP port either.
