Add daemonize package to support WSL2 systemd #2015

@WSLUser

Description

@WSLUser

Official package name: Daemonize

License (must be an OSI approved Open Source license): BSD

Download URL of latest release: https://github.com/bmc/daemonize/releases and https://pkgs.org/download/daemonize, which has the binary files already packaged in rpm, deb, etc.

Latest release date (must be recent): Aug 10, 2016 and that's due to stability.

Description: daemonize is a command-line utility that runs a command as a Unix daemon. See the accompanying man page for full details.

This is required to run systemd on WSL2 at this time. Other distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and Arch all have this package and so allows WSL2 users to run systemd. Furthermore, the Clear Linux kernels require systemd to compile (no idea why when the regular kernel does not, which I think is a bug, but I still want systemd so this package request.)

Note: bmc/daemonize#30 is likely needed (or some optimized version of it) to support the latest autoconf. Otherwise the package is pretty stable.
