Some functions or code paths that may fail don't report error
(e.g. when acquiring PID file fails) leading to a silent quit
of the leaseshelper. This makes it super hard for us and users
to debug what is happening. Fortunately, dnsmasq captures both
stdout and stderr so we can write an error message there.
