[Bug 890465] [NEW] init script should cleanup environment

[Matthias Pgiulla]

Public bug reported:

The puppet agent init script does not take any attempts to clean or
sanitize the environment.

While it may not be of relevance for puppet itself (at least I haven't
noticed any cases yet), it may differ for programs started under puppet.

If, for example, you just "sudo /etc/init.d/puppet start", programs run
under puppet will have HOME={your_home}. "sudo -i /etc/init.d/..." leads
to other results and is probably consistent with what you get when
upstart takes care of starting the service.

Which variables should be present and how they should best be set is
open to discussion.
