…forking. During testing, the child deadlock was reproduce, directly after fork, when logging the message "Testing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Vhost...." Since alive detection is running in a thread, it can lock a mutex when the main process is forking a new child. This mutex is copied into the child process in its locked state, and any child that tries to lock the mutex waits forever. This patch prevent the child deadlock.
Also, set the defaul log level to 16 (warning).

Before, since alive detection is running in a thread, it can lock a mutex when the main process is forking a new child. This mutex is copied into the child process in its locked state, and any child that tries to lock the mutex waits forever.
Also, add log domain for alive detection.
