Feature #14061: Error handling during agent startup

If you do the following:
1. Start an agent in daemon mode
2. Attempt to start a second agent in daemon mode without --verbose
The second one will silently fail.
If, during step two above, you add --verbose, you will get the following error
message:
err: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file:
/var/lib/puppet/run/agent.pid
There are a couple of potential problems here.
1. The error message could probably be more clear.
2. It seems wrong that the error message doesn't get printed w/o --verbose.
The argument here may be that since we're running a daemon, it shouldn't have
any output. I think I would argue that if the daemon fails to start then we
should make an exception, but I'm not entirely sure.
I know that we're not supposed to leave tickets in "Unreviewed", but I'd like
to get someone else's opinion on this.
