[PATCH v2 7/7] t/helper/simple-ipc: convert test-simple-ipc to use start_bg_command

From

Message-ID
<6b7a058284b93fab52458b12a6aede5e8aed6652.1632152179.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1040.v2.git.1632152178.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

Convert test helper to use `start_bg_command()` when spawning a server daemon in the background rather than blocks of platform-specific code.

Also, while here, remove _() translation around error messages since this is a test helper and not Git code.
