Description:
------------
The CGI/FastCGI SAPI does not set the SO_REUSEADDR option. This can prevent the FastCGI server from being restarted if it exits with sockets in the TIME_WAIT state.

The patch below fixes this.

That said, a much better option would be to refactor the fastcgi.c code to use php_network_bind_socket_to_local_addr instead of reinventing the square wheel.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Run a FastCGI web server and start the FastCGI SAPI using php -b.
Kill the FastCGI process.
Attempt to restart it.

Expected result:
----------------
FastCGI server restarting normally

Actual result:
--------------
alamut ~>php-cgi -b 127.0.0.1:8888 -c /home/majid/web/conf
Cannot bind/listen socket - [125] Address already in use.
Couldn't create FastCGI listen socket on port 127.0.0.1:8888
