In principle, the checksums of P2P packets are simply 4-byte blobs which
are the first four bytes of SHA256(SHA256(payload)).
Currently they are handled as little-endian 32-bit integers half of the
time, as blobs the other half, sometimes copying the one to the other,
resulting in somewhat confused code.
This PR changes the handling to be consistent both at packet creation
and receiving, making it (I think) easier to understand.
Simplified version of #8278. Assumes that every OS that (a) is supported
by Bitcoin Core (b) supports daemonization has the `daemon()` function
in its C library.
- Removes the fallback path for operating systems that support
daemonization but not `daemon()`. This prevents never-exercised code from
ending up in the repository (see discussion here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8278#issuecomment-242704745).
- Removes the windows-specific path. Windows doesn't support `daemon()`,
so it don't support daemonization there, automatically.

This improves error reporting if `JSONRPCException` is not specifically caught
and ends up in Python's default backtrace handler.
