Problem: Signals do not propagate to child BigchainDB processes (#2395).

Solution: Run child processes as daemons to make the signals propagate. Add a short shutdown description to the setup guide.

## Shutting down BigchainDB
If you want to stop/kill BigchainDB, you can do so by sending `SIGINT`, `SIGQUIT` or `SIGTERM` to the running BigchainDB
process(es). Depending on how you started BigchainDB i.e. foreground or background. e.g. you started BigchainDB in the background as mentioned above in the guide:
```bash
$ nohup bigchaindb start 2>&1 > bigchaindb.log &
$ # Check the PID of the main BigchainDB process
$ ps -ef | grep bigchaindb
<user> *<pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> bigchaindb
<user> <pid> <ppid>* <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: master [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
<user> <pid> <ppid>* <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> bigchaindb_ws
<user> <pid> <ppid>* <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> bigchaindb_ws_to_tendermint
<user> <pid> <ppid>* <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> bigchaindb_exchange
<user> <pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: worker [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
<user> <pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: worker [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
<user> <pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: worker [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
<user> <pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: worker [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
<user> <pid> <ppid> <C> <STIME> <tty> <time> gunicorn: worker [bigchaindb_gunicorn]
...
$ # Send any of the above mentioned signals to the parent/root process(marked with `*` for clarity)
# Sending SIGINT
$ kill -2 <bigchaindb_parent_pid>
$ # OR
# Sending SIGTERM
$ kill -15 <bigchaindb_parent_pid>
$ # OR
# Sending SIGQUIT
$ kill -3 <bigchaindb_parent_pid>
# If you want to kill all the processes by name yourself
$ pgrep bigchaindb | xargs kill -9
```
If you started BigchainDB in the foreground, a `Ctrl + C` or `Ctrl + Z` would shut down BigchainDB.
