Issue 173 – Change default local tunnel port

By default WinSCP picks port between 6000 and 6100. Unfortunately ports 6000-6063 are used by X Window System. Hence we should choose some less common port range instead.

Default port range changed to 50000-50099.
The new range is within IANA Dynamic and/or Private Ports range:
