Bug #3491: --one-time seems to imply --no-daemonize, but doesn't

I was encountering a problem when using --onetime seemed to hide all useful 
warning messages, but --debug output was not hidden.

This gives the impression that Puppet is doing work without logging it, when it 
is in fact logging it.  

The problem seems to be that the manpage documentation implies that "--onetime" 
means "--nodaemonize", but it instead should indicate
the two are usually needed to be used in conjunction (as we do with the 
documentation for --noclient wanting --listen).

Markus suggests also that we could make "--onetime" when used with 
"--nodaemonize" output some simple text like "Daemonizing for a single run", 
implying
to the user that the should not expect to see output.

I would recommend doing both.
