Call daemon() before initializing crypto library

But keep the chdir to / at the place where deamon() was before, to preserve
the current behaviour wrt relative paths in the config.

This should fix the issue reported in trac #480, without changing the
behaviour visible to the end user.

Note that by moving the daemon() call to an earlier stage of the init
process, we no longer have to call platform_mlockall() again, or do a
pkcs11_forkFixup().
