```
agent_servers: Include stderr in ACP startup exit errors (#55757)

Previously, we weren't waiting on the status future early enough so we
would just hang if we weren't able to start the agent process.

I also added the recent stderr logs in there to help the user debug the
issue, since it is likely relevant in these cases.
