monitor: delay monitor iothread creation

Commit d32749d moved the call to monitor_init_globals()
to before os_daemonize(), making it an unsuitable place to
spawn the monitor iothread as it won't be inherited over the
fork() in os_daemonize().

We now spawn the thread the first time we instantiate a
monitor which actually has use_io_thread == true.
Instantiation of monitors happens only after os_daemonize().
We still need to create the qmp_dispatcher_bh when not using
iothreads, so this now still happens in
monitor_init_globals().
