Description

Multiple mock servers get to use the same port, which breaks our tests.

We would need to fix the bug in wiremock https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/wiremock-rs/issues/156. A fix was already proposed in the issue.

A temporary workaround is to leak MockServers so that they don't get dropped and recycled by wiremock's deadpool. This was made in commit https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5734/commits/0a4f2ef89138b40be98f7d238c0e08236b8df57e. This commit needs to be reverted once this issue is fixed.
