"security_dir_mode" doesn't work properly in daemon mode #85

When daemon takes different identity, os.getuid() in sdconfig.py always returns the uid who started the service because sdconfig.py is imported in sdtiaction.py before running the daemon.

In the future 3.4 release (end 2021), the features based on the daemon will be deprecated. A new feature for asynchronous downloads will be implemented instead.

Moreover, know that a class Config has been created and can be instantiated whenever it is useful. Consequently, the case described in this issue can now be avoided.
