Improve subprocess behavior in tinc start command.

Browse source 
When invoking tincd, tinc start currently uses the execvp() function,
which doesn't behave well in a console as the console displays a new
prompt before the subprocess finishes (which makes me suspect the exit
value is not handled at all). This new code uses spawnvp() instead,
which seems like a better fit.
