/** \brief daemon utility.
    \param progname program name for logging purposes.
    \param flags flags which is a bit-wise combination of YAZ_DAEMON_..
    \param work working handler (which may be running in different process)
    \param data opaque data to be passed to work handler
    \param pidfile filename with Process-ID (NULL for no file)
    \param uid effective user ID for handler (NULL for no same as caller)
    \returns 0 for success, non-zero for failure.

    This function puts calls work handler which is supposed to carry
    out a daemon service with a possible changed User ID and in a
    child process.

    Flag YAZ_DAEMON_FORK: Puts the service in the background on Unix.

    Flag YAZ_DAEMON_DEBUG: Puts the service in debug mode (no fork at all).

    Flag YAZ_DAEMON_KEEPALIVE: Repeatedly calls work handler if it makes a 
    "fatal" error.
