This PR moves the docker images to use the default 8080 port and updates all the documentation. Opening on port 80 usually requires root access, so moving it to port 8080 makes it easier to start as a non-root user. I think it also makes it visually easier to understand, since the prompt "Listening at http://[::]:8080/" will actually match the port the user needs to go to to access the server.
There are several issues and PRs that would be helped by moving the default port to 8080, ex
#573
#578
#503
My only concern with this is it is somewhat of a breaking change for users expecting the docker to start on port 80, but I think this will be better off on a higher port.
