vip: fix a nice interaction between scan and daemonize

* The "cylc vip" command combines three individual coroutines, usually
  run in their own event loops.
* For unknown reasons, the cylc.flow.network.scan.scan coroutine pipe, called
  as part of the the "install" coroutine, interacts with the daemonization
  routine called as part of the "play" coroutine.
* Keeping these event loops separate avoids the conflict.
