Run zend from a specified lower port using authbind

Set port variable
Install and configure authbind
Update firewall rule
Overwrite zend systemd unit files and reload the daemon
Replace port 9033 with new port in zen.conf
Restart zend and zentracker

NOTE: After executing the following steps for this guide, if you have a need to run zend manually, you will need to instead use the following: authbind --deep /usr/bin/zend

If you need to run zend manually or need to run a rescan or reindex, those would be accomplished as follows
- authbind --deep /usr/bin/zend
- authbind --deep /usr/bin/zend --rescan
- authbind --deep /usr/bin/zend --reindex
