Prevent exit to prevent kernel panic
Via MalteJ, "auraed must not exit if something bad happens. When running as pid 1, we get a kernel panic, when pid 1 exits. We could trigger a reboot instead."
A panic in the daemon will only crash the thread, not the program, as everything is in a thread handled by tokio. As long as tokio's crash/exit is handled, then auraed can be prevented from exiting, hopefully.
A simple loop to restart the daemon may be an appropriate solution:
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
loop {
let exit_code = daemon().await;
println!("daemon stopped with exit code: {}", exit_code);
println!("restarting daemon...");
}
panic!("auraed should never exit!");
}

We should add a sleep at the end of the loop. Otherwise, if daemon() exits quickly we'd end up with 100% CPU usage and an infinite loop.
