Currently, JettyWebServer's constructor argument autoStart did not prevent the server from being started automatically during initialization. If the server is started with autoStart=false, it can not be started manually.

Thanks again for the pull request, @mschneid. Unfortunately, I don't think we can make this change without completing the design work that is required for https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/17073. We want to make the behaviour of all four servers consistent. I don't think we should change the behaviour of only one server when we don't know exactly what we want the consistent behaviour to be. Thanks anyway.
