Title: Allow --port range for random port selection

This way the tracker listens on a new random port each time herd.py is called. This allows Herd to be integrated into a continuous delivery/continuous deployment environment. This will allow the deployments to scale well in an automated deployment environment.

With port range socket is tested before port is used.

As a minor aside I alphabetically sorted the imports as well which is why there's so many changes in the imports. Really I only added the following imports.

import random
import socket
