Can we have a command line option to start in daemon mode?

Currently we can force foreground mode in systemd initscripts by
calling sslh --foreground -F /etc/sslh.conf.
With classical sysv initscripts we cannot call something like sslh
--daemon -F /etc/sslh.conf which supersede foreground parameter inside
configuration.

You should write pid file before droping privilege, /var/run is not
writable by users.

# sslh -F /etc/sslh.conf -u nobody
/var/run/sslh.pid: Permission denied
