fix: issue2551238 - roundup-server should exit with error ...
if -d <pidfile> is used without -l <logfile>.
Now exits with error if -l or -L are not specified with -d.
This exposed a problem with relative paths when using a logging
config file. -d enables deamon mode by default. This changes the
current direcory to /. So relative paths in a logging config file
are opened in / and fail.
Added documentation to dmin guide noting the problem.

| 233 it is essential to specify absolute paths for log files in the | |
| 234 tracker's logging.config file. The use of pidfile causes the | |
| 235 server to switch to the root directory ('/'). As a result | |
| 236 relative paths in the logging ini configuration file (as | |
| 237 opposed to the tracker's config.ini) will be written to the | |
| 238 system's root directory. The access error will cause the server | |
