Details:

This small patch adds a new function, lash_init2(), which is identical to
lash_init() except that it will try to start lashd if it is not already
running. It does this by calling fork(), daemon(), and execlp(). The lashd
process will stay up after the client that called lash_init2() has exited.

Some issues that may or may not need fixing:

 * The function name is stupid.

 * Resumed clients should probably not try to start lashd since
   they themselves were started by lashd - if they can't connect
   something must be wrong. Need some code to check for that.

 * If the program that calls lash_init2() is also a JACK client
   it must call jack_client_close() explicitly when it exits,
   otherwise it won't get unregistered from the JACK server
   properly. It's probably a good idea to do this anyway.

 * Maybe some sort of config file is needed to store command
   line parameters for lashd, like jackd has?
