dvbinfo: fix error: 'daemon' is deprecated: first deprecated in OS X 10.5 [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]

I'm not sure if you will want to apply this patch, but I thought I
should share it and let you decide.  I need it in order to build
libdvbpsi on OSX Mavericks, but I don't actually use the dvbinfo
program.

Fix the following build error when building under OSX:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DDVBPSI_DIST   -g -O2 -Wall -Werror --std=gnu99 -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wshadow -Waggregate-return -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wsign-compare -DDVBPSI_DIST -MT dvbinfo-dvbinfo.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/dvbinfo-dvbinfo.Tpo -c -o dvbinfo-dvbinfo.o `test -f 'dvbinfo.c' || echo './'`dvbinfo.c
