support using other ports?

[sebastian-goeldi]

I have thought about it recently. I think the best way is to add a GUI element that allows you to set additional IPs and the port to listen on. I have to say for me this is low-prio though as I have no intention of using a non-standard port and even less desire to write another GUI dialog in klayout, as those are always a pain to write.

I have also been thinking about this: we might as well just check a range of ports for mqtt brokers from the translator side. (and subscribe to all of them?). Like this we can at least avoid problems with a couple of dev containers being connected at the same time, causing the port forwarded to to increment automatically.
