[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#715205: lighttpd: parse lighttpd config file to run as the configured user

[Nathael Pajani]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.35-4
Followup-For: Bug #715205

Dear Maintainer,

I also need to run lighttpd as different user, here is a fix for the init script, which
alows for
directory /var/run/lighttpd to be created as the configured user.

This script should be completed to changed ownership of the differnet other parts, like
/var/log/lighttpd
and /var/cache/lighttpd/
(I did it manually once, and it is kept accross restarts, only the /var/run part was
constently replaced
by the init script at each restart, but all parts should be automated for start, restart,
and reload
operations)

Thanks
(see patch below)
