Provide a friendlier message if another daemon is already running on startup

See original GitHub issue

I often have an IPFS daemon running to interface with other IPFS tools. When launching station, I receive an alert that an instance of the daemon is already running but the message contains the text that one would normally expect on the command-line and not a message typically displayed from a GUI app.

Replicate:

Start an IPFS daemon on the system
npm start from the root of the station working directory

Station 5bd8846a007f9655a451072c23008b162168dd8a macOS 10.13.1
