     util: virdaemon: fix compilation on mingw

     The daemons are not supported on Win32 and therefore were not compiled
     in that platform. However, with the daemon code sharing, all the code in
     utils *is* compiled and it failed because `waitpid`, `fork`, and
     `setsid` are not available. So, as before, let's not build them on
     Win32 and make the code more portable by using existing vir* wrappers.

Not compiling virDaemonForkIntoBackground on Win32 is good, but the
second part of the original patch incorrectly replaced waitpid and fork
with our virProcessWait and virFork APIs. These APIs are more than just
simple wrappers and we don't want any of the extra functionality.
Especially virFork would reset any setup made before
virDaemonForkIntoBackground is called, such as logging, signal handling,
etc.

As a result of the change the additional fix in v6.2.0-67-ga87e4788d2
(util: virdaemon: fix waiting for child processes) is no longer
needed and it is effectively reverted by this commit.
