Description:
Currently, if the proxy is started as a daemon it does not remove its file when exiting cleanly (via exit() or return from main).

How to repeat:
Run mysql-proxy in daemon mode and set --pid-file=/tmp/proxy.pid.

After the proxy-exits, a stale pid file is left.

Suggested fix:
unlink the pid file before returning from main
currently that would break the test-suite (run-tests.lua), so we need to rework some of the test harness to make it happen.
