Recover when a stale daemon pid cannot be killed - #1426

If buckd.info names a pid we cannot kill - it was reused by a process owned by another user, say - the kill error aborted the connect before clean_daemon_dir ran. The stale buckd.info survived, so every later invocation failed the same way and the only way out was deleting the daemon dir by hand. Report the failed kill and start a new daemon instead of aborting.

This fixes an error seen by a user where after a PID on windows was re-used, the user was stuck until deleting their ~/.buck/buckd directory.
