[MC-140234] server-port ignored in server.properties

The server ignores the server-port option specified in server.properties and always starts on port 25565. Using --port as a command line argument works.

Environment

Linux 64 bits

java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

Similar issue found by 1.15.1. The server says it starts on the correct port, I use a port checker and it confirms it's open, I use 'localhost' to connect on the same machine and it does not connect. It only functions currently on 25565 port.
