qemu-storage-daemon: add --pidfile option

Daemons often have a --pidfile option where the pid is written to a file
so that scripts can stop the daemon by sending a signal.

The pid file also acts as a lock to prevent multiple instances of the
daemon from launching for a given pid file.

QEMU, qemu-nbd, qemu-ga, virtiofsd, and qemu-pr-helper all support the
--pidfile option. Add it to qemu-storage-daemon too.
