/**
* Daemonise the process. This means to:
*
* - close all file descritors except for those to
* stdin, stdout, and stderr,
*
* - remove all custom signal handlers, and apply
* the default handlers.
*
* - unblock all signals,
*
* - remove all malformatted entries in the
* environment (this not containing an '=',)
*
* - set the umask to zero, to be ensure that all
* file permissions are set as specified,
*
* - change directory to '/', to ensure that the
* process does not block any mountpoint from being
* unmounted,
*
* - fork to become a background process,
*
* - temporarily become a session leader to ensure
* that the process does not have a controlling
* terminal.
*
* - fork again to become a child of the daemon
* supervisor, (subreaper could however be in the
* say, so one should not merely rely on this when
* writing a daemon supervisor,) (the first child
* shall exit after this,)
*
* - create, exclusively, a PID file to stop the daemon
* to be being run twice concurrently, and to let
* the daemon supervicer know the process ID of the
* daemon,
*
* - redirect stdin and stdout to /dev/null,
* as well as stderr if it is currently directed
* to a terminal, and
*
* - exit in the original process to let the daemon
* supervisor know that the daemon has been
* initialised.
*
* Before calling this function, you should remove any
* environment variable that could negatively impact
* the runtime of the process.
*
* After calling this function, you should remove
* unnecessary privileges.
*
* Do not try do continue the process in failure unless
* you make sure to only do this in the original process.
* But not that things will not necessarily be as when
* you make the function call. The process can have become
* partially deamonised.
*
* If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set and is not empty, its value
* should be used instead of /run for the runtime data-files
* directory, in which the PID file is stored.
*
* @etymology (Daemonise) the process!
*
* @param name The name of the daemon. Use a hardcoded value,
* not the process name. Must not be `NULL`.
* @param flags Flags to modify the behaviour of the function.
* A bitwise OR combination of the constants:
* - `DAEMONISE_NO_CLOSE`
* - `DAEMONISE_NO_SIG_DFL`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_SIGMASK`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_ENVIRON`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_UMASK`
* - `DAEMONISE_NO_PID_FILE`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_STDERR`
* - `DAEMONISE_CLOSE_STDERR`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_STDIN`
* - `DAEMONISE_KEEP_STDOUT`
* @return Zero on success, -1 on error.
*
* @throws EEXIST The PID file already exists on the system.
* Unless your daemon supervisor removs old
* PID files, this could mean that the daemon
* has exited without removing the PID file.
* @throws Any error specified for signal(3).
* @throws Any error specified for sigemptyset(3).
