I committed now what was discussed in this thread:
 - no start in the background by default
 - only start is allowed to happen in background when
   jail_parallel_start is set to yes in rc.conf
 - stdin is redirected from /dev/null

If someone is not happy about the name of the rc.conf variable: feel
free to change it, I do not care about the name.

Bye,
