   PSARC/2009/444 Add daemon() to libc
   4471189 should have 4.4BSD's daemon() utility function

libc contains the classical daemon() implementation which originated in BSD.

This change also removed several redundant daemon() definitions in ON 
but there are still some occurrences of functions which provide the same 
functionality so now it's good time to look at them and optionally 
replace them with a call to daemon().

Non-ON programs should also do the right thing and use the 
implementation in libc, if possible. This usually means to check for its 
existence in the configure script and wrap the alternative definition 
inside the '#ifndef HAVE_DAEMON ... #endif' macros.
