Produce a meaningful error message if --daemon gets in the way of asking for passwords.
With the --daemon / SSL init reordering in da9b292733, we fail if we
daemonize first and then try to ask for a private key passphrase (or,
for that matter, username+password if --auth-nocache is set) - but
no meaningful error message was printed, instead depending on operating
system and library versions, either we looped around "ssl init failed"
or died with an unspecified "fatal error".
So: check if get_user_pass_cr() is called in a context that needs
"from_stdin", but both stdin and stderr are not connected to a tty
device (which getpass() needs). In that case, print a meaningful
error message pointing to --askpass, and die.
Trac #574 and #576
