[Bug 1210308] [NEW] Upstart scripts to use /etc/default for options.

[chalupaul]

Public bug reported:

Upstart scripts currently specify command line options for nova
programs:

$ tail -n 1 /etc/init/nova-compute.conf
exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid nova --exec /usr/bin/nova-compute -- --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf --config-file=/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

Specifying --config-file to these programs asserts that Openstack's
config package Oslo should not perform directory searching for configs.

The expected behavior would be to put these lines into an /etc/default
/nova-XXX file. That way, other options could also be passed to the
commands without having to directly edit the file in /etc/init.
Alternatively, just removing the --config-path options would be OK
because Oslo can find config files all over.

Oslo lets you provide per-program configs instead of one gigantic
nova.conf which can be very helpful (think of the way ubuntu packages
apache configs).
