Title: Cylc ping needs to contact suite if port file exists.

Since the recent replacement of port-scanning with port files on disk, "cylc ping" is not returning error status when the target suite is not running *if* the suite port file still exists. Normally the port file is deleted on suite shutdown, in which case ping reports an error because it can't find the port file - which is how I missed this problem.
