    tools/ocaml: Dup2 /dev/null to stdin in daemonize()
    
    Don't close stdin in daemonize() but dup2 /dev/null instead.  Otherwise, fd 0
    gets reused later:
    
      [root@idol ~]# ls -lav /proc/`pgrep xenstored`/fd
      total 0
      dr-x------ 2 root root  0 Feb 28 11:02 .
      dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root  0 Feb 27 15:59 ..
      lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 11:02 0 -> /dev/xen/evtchn
      l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 11:02 1 -> /dev/null
      l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 11:02 2 -> /dev/null
      lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 11:02 3 -> /dev/xen/privcmd
      ...
