A patch over start_stop_daemon.c

Here is a patch to implement the following options to start-stop-daemon :

//usage:     "\n	-g,--group GRP		Change group"
//usage:     "\n	-r,--chroot DIR		Change root directory"
//usage:     "\n	-d,--chdir DIR		Change current directory"
//usage:     "\n	-C,--no-close		Do not close any file descriptor with -b"
//usage:     "\n	-k,--umask MASK		set umask"

These options are available in the real debian start-stop-daemon and were missing (see bug #6380).

In my patch, please remove the following line (which is wrong):

/* warning : setpriority can legitimately return -1 ! */

I'd really like to see the "-C,--no-close" option implemented.  And it's really simple - just don't call bb_daemonize() with DAEMON_DEVNULL_STDIO if the option was given.
