Prevent zombie processes (#8774)

Using Systemcall::startscript() with Starttype::DontWait used to create
zombie processes, as nobody would collect them. This patch starts those
processes as detached, hence preventing them from becoming zombies.

In addition to #8774, this bug was also reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1096666

Patch from Guy Rutenberg. For reference, see this email thread:
