Update CSFTTCP proc to no longer recommend port <1024; reserve port with IANA.org

Please make the following improvements to the CSFTTCP proc for the TKE.

1) Remove strong recommendation to use port below 1024; should no longer be necessary especially for customers using SERVAUTH class to control their ports.

2) Register the port you choose with the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry.

    I checked with workstation network team. IBM has removed it references to port 1024. In our documentation, we specify an example port, 50003. There is no requirement to use this port, so IBM does not intend to register this port at this time.

    TKE 8.1 version of the TKE host Transaction Program no longer contains the recommendation.
