[Bug 433863] [NEW] image-store-proxy reports failure to start while it starts correctly

[Thierry Carrez]

Public bug reported:

python-image-store-proxy 0.9.1-0ubuntu1

Sometimes the image-store-proxy will report failure to start, while it
is indeed started:

$ sudo service image-store-proxy start
 * Starting Image Store Proxy  image-store-proxy                         [fail] 
$ sudo service image-store-proxy status
 * Checking status of Image Store Proxy image-store-proxy                [ OK ]

This comes from the way STARTTIME is used in /etc/init.d/image-store-
proxy.

If STARTTIME is undefined (or equal to 0) then its a race between the
init script and the pidfile creation in the backgrounded process, which
the shell sometimes wins.

This should be changed to either:
- always report success if STARTTIME is undefined and start-stop-daemon succeeded (no pidfile check)
- set STARTTIME to at least 1 second to have the race won by python most of the time
