util: virdaemon: fix compilation on mingw
The daemons are not supported on Win32 and therefore were not compiled
in that platform. However, with the daemon code sharing, all the code in
utils *is* compiled and it failed because `waitpid`, `fork`, and
`setsid` are not available. So, as before, let's not build them on
Win32 and make the code more portable by using existing vir* wrappers.
Not compiling virDaemonForkIntoBackground on Win32 is good, but the
second part of the original patch incorrectly replaced waitpid and fork
with our virProcessWait and virFork APIs. These APIs are more than just
simple wrappers and we don't want any of the extra functionality.
Especially virFork would reset any setup made before
virDaemonForkIntoBackground is called, such as logging, signal handling,
etc.
As a result of the change the additional fix in v6.2.0-67-ga87e4788d2
(util: virdaemon: fix waiting for child processes) is no longer
needed and it is effectively reverted by this commit.

Unlike `waitpid`, `virProcessWait` only returns -1 (error) or 0
(success), so comparing that to `pid` will always be false and the
parent will report failure with:
error : main:851 : Failed to fork as daemon: No such file or directory
even though the grandchild process is succesfully running. Note that the
errno message is misleading: it was last set when trying to find a
restart state file.

Several daemons have similar code around general daemon startup code.
Let's move it into a file and share it among them.
