feat: add clear log for occupied port at startup (#3890)

Browse Source 
Having repeatedly seen that users are unaware of the meaning of the
EADDRINUSE error message (see, for example, this [forum
thread](https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19871/update-package-list/5)),
I thought we should intercept this message and provide clearer output.
This may help users identify the cause of the problem more quickly
themselves.
