Fix bugs in PickEphemeralPort for TCP.
Netstack always picks a random start point everytime PickEphemeralPort
is called. While this is required for UDP so that DNS requests go
out through a randomized set of ports it is not required for TCP. Infact
Linux explicitly hashes the (srcip, dstip, dstport) and a one time secret
initialized at start of the application to get a random offset. But to
ensure it doesn't start from the same point on every scan it uses a static
hint that is incremented by 2 in every call to pick ephemeral ports.
The reason for 2 is Linux seems to split the port ranges where active connects
seem to use even ones while odd ones are used by listening sockets.
This CL implements a similar strategy where we use a hash + hint to generate
the offset to start the search for a free Ephemeral port.
This ensures that we cycle through the available port space in order for
repeated connects to the same destination and significantly reduces the
chance of picking a recently released port.
