[Bug 1354193] [NEW] Variables in /etc/default/tomcat7 overridden in /etc/init.d/tomcat7

[Jon Stumpf]

Public bug reported:

Many variables defined in /etc/default/tomcat7 are overridden in
/etc/init.d/tomcat7.  In short, they cannot be set in
/etc/default/tomcat7.  These are: TOMCAT7_USER, TOMCAT7_GROUP,
TOMCAT7_SECURITY, JVM_TMP, and JAVA_HOME.

If empty, JVM_TMP was set to "/etc/tomcat7-$NAME-tmp".  With
NAME="tomcat7", this was redundant and I fixed it to match what is
documented in /etc/default/tomcat7.

In the (temporary) logic to set JAVA_HOME, there was an error in
enumerating the java-7-openjdk's.  The error caused the enumerated list
to only be the last directory discovered.  I fixed the error to match
the logic for the java-6-openjdk's.

Lastly, the "auto-generate" message for the policies is hardcoded.  I
added logic to list both the logical path and, if different, the
physical path to the policy.d directory.

** Affects: tomcat7 (Ubuntu)
