EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK when another daemon was running and had the pidfile open.
We should return EEXIST in that case, fix it.

when the child process execs daemon's target program thanks to flock(2)
semantics. So, we apparently have to leak the open pidfile's file
descriptor to keep the lock for the pidfile(3) functions to work properly.
Test case demonstrated by trociny:
ref8-amd64:/home/trociny% uname -r
8.2-STABLE
ref8-amd64:/home/trociny% daemon -p /tmp/sleep.pid sleep 10
ref8-amd64:/home/trociny% daemon -p /tmp/sleep.pid sleep 10
daemon: process already running, pid: 19799

10.0-CURRENT
kopusha:~% daemon -p /tmp/sleep.pid sleep 10
kopusha:~% daemon -p /tmp/sleep.pid sleep 10

for pidfh in libutil.h in its place.
This allows us to hide the contents of the pidfh structure, and also
allowed removal of the "#ifdef _SYS_PARAM_H" guard from around the
pidfile_* function prototypes.

and the caller requested other process' PID by passing non-NULL pidptr
argument, we will wait at most 100ms for the PID to show up in the file and if
it won't, we will store -1 in *pidptr.
From now on, pidfile_open() function never sets errno to EAGAIN on failure.

success and zero pid from pidfile_read(). Return EAGAIN instead. Sleep
up to three times for 5 ms while waiting for pidfile to be written.
mount(8) does the kill(mountpid, SIGHUP). If mountd pidfile is truncated,
that would result in the SIGHUP delivered to the mount' process group
instead of the mountd.

to pidfile_write happen, the pidfile will have nul characters prepended
due to the cached file descriptor offset...
