Use switch for fork()
This saves us one local variable and 2 lines of code, while improving readability by using the switch-style we are used to from other suckless projects. We are allowed to check against -1, as POSIX clearly mandates for the RETURN VALUE: "Upon successful completion, fork() shall return 0 to the child process and shall return the process ID of the child process to the parent process. Both processes shall continue to execute from the fork() function. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned to the parent process, no child process shall be created, and errno shall be set to indicate the error." [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fork.html] This way, checking against < 0 was overdoing it and it's sufficient to compare against -1, justifying the switch statement here.
