safe way to let WebStorm know 'runner' and 'webServer' ports

[segrey]

It's a feature request for WebStorm integration.

WebStorm needs to know webServerPort and runnerPort.
Now this information is mined from the standard output of Karma server:

INFO [karma]: Karma v0.9.4 server started at http://localhost:9876/
...
INFO [karma]: To run via this server, use "karma run --runner-port 9101"

Such approach seems to be unsafe.
For example, WebStorm integration isn't working if logLevel: config.LOG_DISABLE is set.

It'd be nice to have the following API on JavaScript level:

onRunnerPortBound(runnerPort)
onWebServerPortBound(webServerPort)

There functions should be called only once with really bounded ports.
config.runnerPort and config.port aren't what's needed. These ports are only initial port numbers. If a port cannot be bound, it's attempted to bind the port number increased by one and so on.

Thanks!

These events can be delivered by "globalEmitter":

globalEmitter.on('runner_port_bound', function(runnerPort) {
  // sending runner port to IDE
});
globalEmitter.on('web_server_port_bound', function(webServerPort) {
  // sending webServer port to IDE
});

Just an update on this - the runnerPort is gone, there's only port now.
