I agree with doing this for all the non daemon launch tests. For those you can just run clang in a way that lit doesn't care if it fails, kill the daemon, then check the output of clang.
It doesn't really need to do a fully clean shutdown as no other process should be connecting, it can just call `shutdownDaemon`.
