[Bug 1470588] [NEW] Init Script does not contain a status function

[Geoff Scott]

Public bug reported:

I didn't realize this until I started using puppet to manage the open-
vm-tools package.  Puppet was attempting to run the status function in
the init script for the application and the puppet run was failing due
to the script returning a 1.  The Red Hat init script for the same
package has a status, but I'm guessing since the actual process is
called "vmtoolsd" and the name of the script/binary is different it
requires a somewhat odd status function.

I've written a working status function for this package's init script
and asked in #ubuntu irc channel how to submit it and was told to submit
a bug report in launchpad.

This is on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS with open-vm-tools package
2:9.4.0-1280544-5ubuntu6.2
