[mythtv] [Micropatch] Fix tiny daemon bug.

[michael at optusnet.com.au]

Micropatch.

#1. Add an open("/dev/null") after the close(0) to ensure
that normal open()'s later in the program don't inadvertently
wind up in STDIN.

#2. Fix a small bug: If daemonize is set, but no logfile is
set, then stderr/stdout stay associated with /dev/tty. Fix
by dup'ing /dev/null to stderr and stdout.

#3. As a result of the above two changes, the split between
open'ing the pidfile and writing to it can go away.
