GEODE-3506: improve validation/error checking for process file control We only ever hit this failure once and I don't think it's a flaky test. This could actually be one more (last remaining?) root cause of "start locator" or "start server" hanging-while-printing-dots in GFSH. I've added what I consider to be excessive validation and error checking but it should point us at the cause if this check in FileProcessController ever fails again: if (isBlank(lines)) { throw new IllegalStateException("Status file '" + statusFile + "' is blank"); } In addition to this PR, we should consider adding more direct test coverage for ServiceState and its subclasses as well as more unit tests of the Launcher using mocks.
