Subject: [PATCH] Prefer `ip` over `if` over `web` when inferring `use`

If the user passed `-ip` they almost certainly want to use it, even if
they also passed `-if` and `-web`.

Similarly, if the user passed `-if` they almost certainly want to use
it even if they also passed `-web`.

   * The `pid` option is now ignored when ddclient is not daemonized.
   * ddclient now gracefully exits when interrupted by Ctrl-C.
+  * The way ddclient chooses the default for the `use` option has changed.
+    Rather than rely on the default, users should explicitly set the `use`
+    option.
