new-run-webkit-tests fails to start http server if one is already running

It turns out old-run-webkit-tests seems to be really bad about shutting down httpd if it's interrupted/killed (as can commonly happen on the buildbots if someone cancels a build).

We already seem to have a Tools/BuildSlaveSupport/kill-old-processes script to help with this.  However that script doesn't know how to kill httpd on Mac.

Trying to switch the bots to NRWT we're commonly encountering an error where NRWT refuses to start because there is already something bound to the 8080 port (so far it's always been an httpd server from a previous ORWT run).

So I propose we add "httpd" to kill-old-processes and then buildbot will automatically clean these up before calling run-webkit-tests.
