If port is already being used then start server on a different port.
See original GitHub issueCurrently if I already have a different server listening on port 3000 then react-scripts start still starts up and says The app is running at http://localhost:3000/, but it’s actually not.
It should either fail to start up (in which case there should be a way to manually specify a different port) or automatically pick an available port.

It would be nice if you could specify the port too.
I think it should ask:
Something is already running at http://localhost:3000. Would you like to run the app at another port instead? [Y/n]
