Need to initialize getloadavg() as root in the daemon when
deliver_drop_privilege is set, for the benefit of the queue runner.

62. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
+63. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
+ need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
+ deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
+ necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
