Log Message:
If '-u' or '-g' is given, create the pidfile prior to changing e[ug]id

The subsequent call to pidfile(3) after we daemonize will correctly take
over the pidfile.

Note: this will likely leave the truncated pidfile in place upon exit,
since the effective user is unlikely to have write permissions on
_PATH_VARRUN.  This isn't a problem, since pidfile(3) does the right
thing at startup again, and the the pidfile being truncated will not
lead to erroneous diagnosis.

This fixes bin/27309, which I filed a little over 20 years ago.
