Bug#517035: tomcat6: Default HTTP connector port should not be 8080

Sorry, I was misled by /etc/services about "WWW caching service":
> http-alt	8080/tcp	webcache	# WWW caching service
> http-alt	8080/udp			# WWW caching service

which does not appear in IANA site
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers):

> http-alt	8080/tcp    HTTP Alternate (see port 80)
> http-alt	8080/udp    HTTP Alternate (see port 80)

But I suppose occupying port 8080 is not so good, e.g. when you run a web server
using port other than 80.

Before 5.5 tomcat uses port 8180 as a default, which is currently:
> #               8162-8191   Unassigned
by IANA.

I think It's better to use port 8180, 8181 (or larger number) to not
conflict with other
uses, selecting unused one automatically as default (like postgresql)
for tomcat6 and tomcat5.5 to coexist.

#  So do I in regard to the shutdown control port. Port 8005 is used
by both tomcat6
and tomcat5.5 as default...
