[Bug 1464770] [NEW] initscript doesn't preserve return code

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

Copied from the Debian bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788573):

Many actions offered by the initscript do not preserve or give the
proper return code. One notable example is the "configtest" that always
returns 0 even when problems are detected:

 echo "invalid" >> /etc/nging/nginx.conf
 service nginx configtest
 echo $?

Should return 1 but returns 0 instead.
