Since we are breaking from the past, instead I suggest we do:
<listen>
<port type='XXX' autoport='on|off' value=XXXX/>
<port .../>
</listen>
More future proof WRT future port additions, and gives us a natural place to
fix the websocket autoport issue without adding a websocket_autoport=on|off
parameter:

This is a very large patch with several different aspects to it. It should
probably be a series unto itself. This is off the cuff, but I suggest
structuring the series like
- add port bits to listen structure, but no XML parsing/formatting. fill them
with the pre-existing port attributes, maybe on demand at GetListen time
- convert the code to grab port values from gListen. that way we can verify
that the test output doesn't change. this patch should not be changing
functionality AFAICT. code that actually updates the port values, like during
port allocation, likely needs to continue to use the old values
- make gListen values the canonical store, and convert the remaining users
If you don't want to separate that series from the later listen=none/socket
bits, if the conflict is too high, I imagine you can just do the above patches
to make the code 'listen driven'. But then the extra patches would be
- parse/format the XML, regenerate the test suite
- add new targeted test cases
- docs
But ideally the port XML rework doesn't block the listen=none/spice bits which
are interesting for spice GL

The 'Since 1.0.6' is lost for websocket.

I think consolidating the ports configuration is a good idea, maybe even give
it its own subsection. This should probably be a <dd> list though which is
more common.
But I think the list items should describe when the original attribute was
added, and a bit about what the attribute does. Then add the bit about 'since
1.3.5 specify these in the <listen> element...' should come afterwards. That
way there's a natural place to preserve the websocket 'Since' bit, the
Websocket warning, etc.

Granted the docs will likely be different if the <port> format is used
