[Bug 1325847] [NEW] Improvement: initscript enhancement with support for conf.d and configtest on startup

[born2chill]

Public bug reported:

The haproxy initscript misses a configtest option, which haproxy natively supports. It also does not warn the user, if haproxy has been disabled in the default file, but exits silently.
Also, it has become a de-facto standard for daemons to include conf.d configuration file support.
I attached a patch for the current init script, which remedies all these issues and should be forward/backward compatible to haproxy 1.3/1.4/1.5.

** Affects: haproxy (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
