bcb09b3f4a qa: Verify HTTP listen port exclusivity (Hodlinator)
af65069fd1 windows: Use SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE over SO_REUSEADDR (Hodlinator)

Pull request description:

  #### Problem

  `HTTPServer::BindAndStartListening()` unconditionally enables `SO_REUSEADDR` before binding the RPC listener. On Windows, a reuse-enabled listener does not reserve the port exclusively: another local process can request `SO_REUSEADDR` and bind to the same port (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/using-so-reuseaddr-and-so-exclusiveaddruse).

  If the competing socket receives a new connection, it can capture the HTTP Basic `Authorization` header (including the cookie credential) and proxy or issue privileged RPC calls as the victim. This crosses a local-user boundary and can expose wallet-controlling RPC credentials.

  #### Fix

  Have Windows use `SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE` instead which makes the port exclusive to the process which first requests it, while retaining the restart-friendly behavior which `SO_REUSEADDR` enabled. Abort if another process is already bound to the port.

  #### Further context & rationale

  This issue is new in our homegrown HTTP server implementation, since libevent had a guard against setting `SO_REUSEADDR` on Windows, see `evutil_make_listen_socket_reuseable()` d82464a277/evutil.c (L483). libevent does not reference `SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE`.

  Why should we not just avoid `SO_REUSEADDR` on Windows and skip `SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE` like the libevent approach?
  Because setting either option makes the process less prone to failing to bind to a port after having been restarted. Not sure why this wasn't an issue before, maybe the node startup was usually slow enough to time out the port before we tried to re-bind it on Windows.
