do not create a pidfile, if none is specified in config
some people want to run tinyproxy with minimal configuration from the command line (and as non-root), but tinyproxy insists on writing a pid file, which only makes sense for usage as a service, hereby forcing the user to either run it as root so it can write to the default location, or start editing the default config file to work around it. and if no pidfile is specified in the config, it frankly doesn't make sense to force creation of one anyway.
