Discovery changesedit

Only a single port may be given for each seed host.edit

In earlier versions you could include a range of ports in entries in the discovery.seed_hosts list, but Elasticsearch used only the first port in the range and unexpectedly ignored the rest. For instance if you set discovery.seed_hosts: "10.11.12.13:9300-9310" then Elasticsearch would only use 10.11.12.13:9300 for discovery. Seed host addresses containing port ranges are now rejected.
