This PR replaces the signature for handler_listen so, if 0 is selected as the port number, it can also be retrieved. Otherwise, there was no way for the caller to retrieve the port number selected by the operating system.

Also, a new function, namely handler_loop, has been added so as to split libweb's main loop from handler_listen.

Split handler_loop from handler_listen 
Some applications might set up a struct handler object to listen on any
port i.e., 0, but still need a way to determine which port number was
eventually selected by the implementation.

Therefore, handler_listen has been reduced to the server initialization
bit, whereas the main loop has been split into its own function, namely
handler_loop.

Because of these changes, it no longer made sense for libweb to write
the selected port to standard output, as this is something now
applications can do on their own.
