Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use /etc/memcached.conf on systemd systems.
We do that by introducing a systemd wrapper that reads
/etc/memcached.conf end execs memcached with the correct options. This
makes sysvinit and systemd systems behave in the same way.
This scripts is basically start-memcached without the forking and
logfile logic, those are now handled by systemd.
