Disable use of PID file when running in foreground 

When running in foreground, it is likely that it is running within
systemd. In this case, a stale PID file is likely to have a PID that
corresponds to a different process, which can still be kill'ed by the
root user. This results in a false positive that the process is still
running and causes the daemon to abort prematurely.

Fixes #42
