xl: don't emit misleading daemon pid message

After creating a domain, xl forks off a process to handle domain events
(shutdown, disk eject, ...). It prints out the pid of the process
created by the fork to stdout. However, the newly forked process soon
after calls daemon(), which itself forks once more (and exit()s the
original process). This means that the pid printed out is not the pid of
the actual process which remains in the background after all is said and
done, instead it is the pid of the transient process that exists between
xl's fork() and the fork'd process's daemon() call.

We could resolve this by printing the correct pid, ie. by open-coding
daemon() (we already do most of the heavy lifting it does ourselves by
fiddling with the standard fds). However, since no-one seems to be
complaining about the misleading message to begin with, and since it
seems like a pointless message anyway, just remove it outright instead.
