Mapping an upstart job to a init.d script (sssd)

[Stephen Gallagher]

I'd like to note that the SSSD itself carries an example init script for 
Fedora and SUSE in the src/sysv directory of the tarball. (Arguably we 
should move that to the contrib directory so it's easier to find)

This might be a better place to start than trying to reverse-engineer 
Ubuntu's upstart script.
