bitcoind: Daemonize using daemon(3)
Simplified version of #8278. Assumes that every OS that (a) is supported by Bitcoin Core (b) supports daemonization has the `daemon()` function in its C library. - Removes the fallback path for operating systems that support daemonization but not `daemon()`. This prevents never-exercised code from ending up in the repository (see discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8278#issuecomment-242704745). - Removes the windows-specific path. Windows doesn't support `daemon()`, so it don't support daemonization there, automatically. Original code by Matthew King, adapted by Wladimir van der Laan.
