cmdutil.service: do not _exit(0) in the parent process

The fact that a parent process spawns a daemon does not necessarily means that
it is the only think it has to do. This was forcing since 7c01599dd340 inotify
processes launched implicitely to exit prematurely:
when no inotify server was running, "hg st" for example would only launch a
inotify server, _exit(0) and thus would not return file statuses.

This changeset adds a test for implicitely launched inotify processes.
Change to output of test-inotify-1208 is correct: it reflects the normal
error message of "hg st" when not dying during "hg inserve" daemon creation.

output the current or given revision of files

    Print the specified files as they were at the given revision. If no
    revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used, or tip if
    no revision is checked out.

    Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file is given using
    a format string. The formatting rules are the same as for the export
    command, with the following additions:

    "%s"   basename of file being printed
    "%d"   dirname of file being printed, or '.' if in repository root
    "%p"   root-relative path name of file being printed

options:

 -o --output   print output to file with formatted name
 -r --rev      print the given revision
    --decode   apply any matching decode filter
 -I --include  include names matching the given patterns
 -X --exclude  exclude names matching the given patterns

use "hg -v help cat" to show global options
