Create a new daemon, running by default: triggerd

Adding a daemon I think is a really bad idea. We have an overabundance of daemons as it is. I think that a packaging daemon (rcd, zmd) is a generally bad idea, and that's a lot more full-featured than something which just runs scripts. (And I was one of its designers. Whoops.)

A management daemon, supporting role based access (separation of duty), is highly desirable for enterprises. Looking at package management, solving dependencies is a resource intensive task. One can gain speed by constructing a proper in-memory representation of the dependency graph. However, this might take longer than the actual run of the dependency solver. A deamon, which keeps the graph representation in memory, is one possible approach to make package management fast.
