daemon: new scheme for graceful termination

The keepalive child process calls new function, yaz_daemon_stop, which
tells parent keepalive process to terminate. This function should be
called when the child process has closed the listening socket.

+/** \brief stop daemon - stop parent process
+
+    This function sends a signal to the parent keepalive process that
+    makes it exit immediately - without waiting. If there's no parent
+    keepalive process, this function does nothing. SHould be called
+    when the child process has freed resources, such as listening socket.
+    But the child process may continue running.
