* Reduce AlltoAll port usage when connecting proxy
Reuse socket ports when connecting proxies in AlltoAll.
Existing port usage in AlltoAll is O(n) for recv and O(n) for send,
reusing socket ports in server or client side will make one of them
O(1), reusing both will reduce the total port usage to O(1) and enables
AlltoAll in >64 MI200 nodes.
