run-tests: more accurate/helpful message than "diff generation failed" Diff generation didn't really fail, it recognized that an hg serve server has failed to start, and thus skipped the diff generation intentionally. The most common reason for a server to fail to start is that the port was already in use, so output HGPORT as well, to help finding it (since pgrep -f 'hg serve' is not sufficient, if the command line is something like 'hg -R main serve')
