I'm splitting the diff I sent yesterday into more manegeable bits.

This is not strictly needed, but sice the struct gotd_child_proc is
not used outside of gotd.c, let's move it there and allocate
dynamically listen_proc in gotd.

While here, I'm also dropping the `nhelpers' field which seems
currently unused.
