Test fails occasionally due to a port clash.
Presumably the port that was returned by Utils.getFreePort(), is no longer free.
The test creates a ProcessBuilder with the parameters for JMX, including port number, and uses that to create a new Process.
It should retry with a new port if we fail due to a port in use, for some limited number of attempts.

main already has some retry logic, but not working:
it checks for an InvocationTargetException to contain a BindException, but it simply gets a BindException, thrown by TestAppRun.start().
TestAppRun.start() runs the new process and scans for errors, but on failure its predicate has only seen the first line of a failure, so a BindException is never recognised and thrown.
Also main does not limit the retries, and handling the port retry in main() is duplicated, for each run of the test method.

So...

Make the error-scanning predicate in TestAppRun recognise a "port in use" message and throw a BindExeption.  This is a notification to the caller that it failed, it's not the actual BindException as that was thrown in a different process.
Make the testDefaultAgent method (the main part of the test) handle retrying with a new port, a limited number of times.
