Description

After closing the Tensorboard tab, one needs to manually kill the tensorboard server processes before re-launching.
Please allow the extension to check if an instance is already running and reopen it on a tab if positive.
Also, in case of multi-user systems, if another user is already running tensorboard at default port 6000, the extension fails instead of creating a new instance at another free port, like 6001, would be nice if it tried to do so.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing the extension's TensorBoard launch flow, then verify how it detects an existing server and selects a free port when port 6000 is occupied; done means reopening an existing instance and launching a new instance on another available port.
