This seems like it'd be better to write this as a plugin.
For starters, randomly loading a module named sd_notify seems not good from
a security point of view for anyone that's not aware of it. Second, as @rnewson
states, this is a bit specific to a daemon manager and as such seems a bit of a
difficult sell in terms of feature creep. Thirdly, this will be a bit of a lie
when we get to clustered nodes since couch_server doesn't directly define when
the node is "alive".
