Curses display requires stdin/out to stay on the terminal, so -daemonize makes no sense in this case. Instead of leaving display uninitialized like is done since 995ee2bf469de6bb, explicitly detect this case earlier and error out. -nographic can actually be used with -daemonize, by redirecting everything to a null device, but the problem is that according to documentation and historical behavour, -nographic redirects guest ports to stdin/out, which, again, makes no sense in case of -daemonize. Since -nographic is a legacy option, don't bother fixing this case (to allow -nographic and -daemonize by redirecting guest ports to null instead of stdin/out in this case), but disallow it completely instead, to stop garbling host terminal. If no display display needed and user wants to use -nographic, the right way to go is to use -serial null -parallel null -monitor none -display none -vga none instead of -nographic. Also prevent the same issue -- it was possible to get garbled host tty after -nographic -daemonize and it is still possible to have it by using -serial stdio -daemonize Fix this by disallowing opening stdio chardev when -daemonize is specified.
