start-stop-daemon: create pidfile before parent exits, closes 8596

This removes DAEMON_DOUBLE_FORK flag from bb_daemonize_or_rexec(),
as SSD was the only user.

Also includes fix for -S: now works without -a and -x,
does not print pids
(compat with "start-stop-daemon (OpenRC) 0.34.11 (Gentoo Linux)").
