Hmm, good question. For one thing, what's you're testing here is not a
part of the application server, but is rather relevant to the box API so
the test should live in box/ or box-tap/. Since box-tap/cfg.test.lua is
supposed to test box.cfg() and already has all the infrastructure for
starting a new tarantool instance (I mean, run_code), it feels like a
good choice.

Anyway, we don't usually create a new test file for each bug/feature -
that'd be an overkill. We try to group tests by subsystem. I suppose, in
your particular case it would be acceptable to introduce a new test
file, but it should test both unix and udp sockets then IMHO, which
means that you need the run_code() from box-tap/cfg.test.lua, so why not
just fold the test cases there - they aren't that big, are they.

I guess so. Even if you have half of the ports busy, after ten attempts
the probability of repeatedly choosing a busy port is less than 0.1%,
which is acceptable, I think.

Also, I asked you to test invalid syslog destination (non-existing unix
socket or host address). Please do so as to cover the error paths.
