b927e56fab fix(daemon): let the daemon own its pidfile, so stop can stop it (#91)
* fix(daemon): let the daemon own its pidfile, so stop can stop it

`bdrive stop` could fail with "no such process" and leave sync running.

Liveness became the flock in #88, and Run already announces the child's own
pid only after it holds that lock. But Start still wrote daemon.pid from the
parent, right after fork, with the pid of a child that had not earned
anything yet. Two starts inside that window — `bdrive init` followed by the
login agent's `bdrive resume`, or two resumes close together — race: Running
still reads false, a second child spawns, it loses hold(), and it exits
without ever being the daemon. Its pid is already in the file.

Everything downstream trusts that file. Stop signals the loser and gets
ESRCH, so it reports failure while the winner keeps syncing — the one command
whose job is "stop sending my files" silently does not. status prints the
phantom pid, or "pid 0" when the loser's cleanup removed the file the winner
wrote.

So the parent no longer writes it: the pidfile belongs to whoever holds the
lock. Start now waits for the lock to be taken instead of assuming the spawn
worked, which also means a caller that gets a pid back can trust a daemon
owns it — `bdrive resume` used to print "started (pid N)" for a child that
had already died.

The regression test needs the real binary (Start execs os.Executable), so it
lives with the CLI e2e rather than in internal/daemon, whose tests synthesize
locks. It is deterministic on Linux and roughly one run in five on macOS,
where the window is tighter; `sandbox/run.sh daemon-linux` is the reliable
reproducer.
