Explore more efficient ways to scan for running web servers

See original GitHub issue

Currently we use node-netstat. Increasing the poll timeout to 5s greatly improved CPU load but it would be ideal if we could find a more efficient way to get the ports that have something listening on them.

Why do we need to provide a list? User’s explicitly run webservers anyway so they know exactly what port its running on. We should just use the common ports and then let them enter custom ports.
