failure when starting octoprint as daemon as root

[morlac]

when starting octoprint as root (with --iknowwhatimdoing) it's not possible to also daemonize octoprint (with --daemon start) as the arg --iknowwhatimdooing is lost when forking ..

Edit: a possible solution could be the following patch:

Should be fixed now, on windows only right now, so a quick test would be much appreciated!

I re-installed octoprint-git (current master) on my Archlinux-RPi and it now works as expected =)
