moving the phoneHome business into cgiApoptosis.c/.h to make it callablefrom cart.c. We need to call it from cart.c as otherwise
cgiApoptosisSetup (originally: phoneHome) will be called after mysql
connections are opened. This leads to "mysql server has gone away" if
any CGI is not faster than the child process forked here. The child will
close all mysql connections of the parent process. With the new setup,
the childi is forked before any mysql connections are opened. Ideally
this would be all done in cheapcgi, but cheapcgi is not in the hg/lib
part of the code.
