[Bug 1651111] [NEW] invoke-rc.d starts disabled systemd service if there are init scripts

[Artur Molchanov]

Public bug reported:

ipmi-util failed to install on Ubuntu 16.10.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmiutil/+bug/1639823

invoke-rc.d from init-system-helpers 1.29ubuntu3 performs check services
is not disabled. ipmi_port.service is disabled and as a result invoke-
rc.d doesn't try to start it and installation completed successfully.

invoke-rc.d from init-system-helpers 1.45 has more complicated check. If
systemd service (ipmi_port.service) is not enabled but there are init.d
scripts with the same name (/etc/rc2.d/S01ipmi_port
/etc/rc3.d/S01ipmi_port /etc/rc4.d/S01ipmi_port /etc/rc5.d/S01ipmi_port)
then invoke-rc.d starts service.
