Log server tcp port as well together with client ip/port in access log.

Today the server logs entries similar to the following:

03/03/22 09:02:58 ANR0406I Session 83331 started for node HOST.EXAMPLE.COM (Linux x86-64) (SSL host.example.com[dead:beef::1]:45186). (SESSION: 83331)

However, there is no logging of which server port (or IP) that served this connection. Since the server has multiple ports open, this makes following up on incidents harder. Also, it makes it impossible to verify that client configuration is correct, for example when

implementing access restrictions https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.13?topic=ssps-limiting-access-through-port-restrictions to enforce ssl/tls-only connections by using the SSLTCPPORT port, and wanting to know which clients needs to have their config updated.
