diff change daemon to log to syslog instead of /dev/null

patch for fossil to use daemon -S -T fossil

fossil runs daemon -f which forces all output of fossil to /dev/null, which
makes it terrible to debug when something goes wrong at startup.

change this to daemon -S -T fossil, so logs go to syslog and tagged with
'fossil', so that it's much easier to tell when something is going wrong.

see attached diff.
