fixed a potential problem with wins_write_database() child processes.

In sig_term() we were calling wins_write_database(0) which would fork a
child. This child might then get killed by the same process killing
off the parent. That process would then fork another child etc.

The solution is to pass a "background" flag to wins_write_database(0)
and only fork if this is set.
