daemon: Fix regression with --start introduced with the double fork in 8e94f653

The previous commit intoduced a double fork which caused a more or less immediate
successful return prior to the hard work of actually starting a daemon.

This patch simply used pipe() to only signal our father when the daemon really
has finished starting.
