Add --new-daemon, which runs in the foreground and does not fork
This is intended for modern init systems such as systemd, which manage many of the traditional aspects of daemon behavior themselves. (Bug#2677) * src/emacs.c (daemon_type): New integer. (usage, standard_args): Add --old-daemon and --new-daemon. (main): Handle --old-daemon and --new-daemon arguments. Restrict all the forking and complicated daemon stuff to old-daemon. (Fdaemon_initialized): Handle new-style daemon. * src/lisp.h (IS_DAEMON, DAEMON_RUNNING) [!WINDOWNT]: Replace daemon_pipe with daemon_type. * doc/emacs/cmdargs.texi (Initial Options): * doc/emacs/glossary.texi (Glossary): * doc/emacs/misc.texi (Emacs Server): * doc/lispref/display.texi (Window Systems): * doc/lispref/os.texi (Startup Summary): Related doc updates. * etc/NEWS: Mention this. * etc/emacs.service: Use Type=simple and --new-daemon.
