chg: do not write pidfile
Current pidfile logic will only keep the pid of the newest server, which is
not very useful if we want to kill all servers, and will become outdated if
the server auto exits after being idle for too long.
Besides, the server-side pidfile writing logic runs before chgserver gets
confighash so it's not trivial to append confighash to pidfile basename like
we did for socket file.
This patch removes --pidfile from the command starting chgserver and switches
to an alternative way (unlink socket file) to stop the server.

chg: remove manual reload logic
chgserver now validates and reloads configs automatically. Manually reloading
is no longer necessary. Besides, we are deprecating pid files since the server
will periodically check its ownership of the socket file and exit if it does
not own the socket file any longer, which works more reliable than a pid file.
This patch removes the SIGHUP reload logic from both chg server and client.

chg: use --daemon-postexec chdir:/ instead of --cwd /
The chgserver is designed to load repo config from current directory. "--cwd /"
will prevent chgserver from loading repo config and generate a wrong
confighash, which will result in a redirect loop. This patch removes "--cwd /"
and uses "--daemon-postexec chdir:/" instead.
