[PATCH] tests/qtest/netdev-socket: Avoid variable-length array in inet_get_free_port_multiple()

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

We use a variable-length array in inet_get_free_port_multiple().
This is only test code called at the start of a test, so switch to a
heap allocation instead.

The codebase has very few VLAs, and if we can get rid of them all we
can make the compiler error on new additions.  This is a defensive
measure against security bugs where an on-stack dynamic allocation
isn't correctly size-checked (e.g.  CVE-2021-3527).
