[JENKINS-6647] Add ability to allocate range of TCP Ports

[jenkins-infra-bot]

It would be nice to be able to ask for a range of ports (not necessarily contiguous, but that could be a useful option I suppose) given a name, the variables would be allocated with a counter suffix.

For instance, I'm thinking of two fields being presented: "Name" and "Count". If the user eneted, "Foo", and "10", then Foo1, Foo2, Foo3 ... Foo10 would all be allocated.

  I need a similar feature to allow me to fix JENKINS-12821. That needs consecutive ports but it would be easy to provide an option to do both. I plan to start working on this in the next day or two.

  Awesome!  I am no longer needing this for current client, but I'm sure I can contrive a test case to help you validate whatever you implement.  Let me janos if you need any help.

  I also need this and do need the consecutive assignment of ports. I see that the PortAllocationManager has allocatePortRange now, but it doesn't seem to have been exposed in the plugin UI. Is someone working on that?
