write pid file immediately after daemonizing

Since we split daemonizing from changing directory in commit da9b292
(f025de005d719201a69ad0313d545a1ddd244752 in release/2.3), we can
now simply write the pid file immediately after daemonizing.

This not only fixes the bug reported in trac #563, but also further
simplifies the code.

trac #563
