running "process-compose" with the same port twice makes the second instance inaccessible via REST API

Defect

When multiple instance of process-compose are ran concurrently, only the first instance is accessible via REST API. This can lead to confusion, if one forgets that an instance is already running in the background and starts a new one, and the tries to access it via REST or process-compose command (like process-compose process list etc).

This is also the case if any other process is already using the port process-compose is supposed to use.

IMHO, process-compose should exit with an error if it cannot bind the the port. If one doesn't intend to use the REST interface, a flag to disable the REST server could be provided.

Version of process-compose:
