method NodeBackground.spawnDaemon

Like spawn, but the task never keeps the node alive: it is cancelled when main returns (runtime helpers such as the server of a dynamic config, D-5197).

Example:

fn main() io, time {
  node.background.spawnDaemon(() => {
    sleep(60s)
  })
  print("main returns; the daemon does not keep the node alive")
}

main returns; the daemon does not keep the node alive
