Make index command more friendly towards service supervisors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Right now if one wants to run Djapian index management command in the loop
for continuous index updates, it's possible to use "--daemonize" flag.

This flag tells Djapian to fork into background. It doesn't work for
certain service supervisors such as runit or daemontools as they expect
service processes to stay in the foreground.

I suggest adding another command line option to make daemonizing and
continuous looping behaviour independent.

Attached patch adds a "--loop" command which will tells "index" command to
run indefinitely. "--daemonize" flag is modified to control only the
daemonization behaviour.

It's not a defect, but more like an "Enhancement".

Also forgot to say that attached patch is made against current svn head (r343).
