In early versions of the series which proposed protocol servers, the
interface had two methods answering pretty much the same question of
whether the server is running or not:
* listen_addresses(): empty list -> server not running
* is_server_running()
To reduce redundancy and to avoid possible inconsistencies between the
two methods, `is_server_running()` was scrapped, but re-added by a
follow-up patch because `listen_addresses()` proved to be unreliable as
a source for whether the server is running or not.
This patch restores the previous state of having only
`listen_addresses()` with two additional changes:
* rephrase the comment on `listen_addresses()` to make it clear that
implementations must return empty list when the server is not running;
* those implementations that have a reliable source of whether the
server is running or not, use it to force-return an empty list when
the server is not running
