Fix cassandra daemon management under debian/ubuntu
This PR tries to fix 2 problems when installing the package on Ubuntu (and
I think Debian)
1. `/var/run/cassandra` is missing and the pid file is not created on
start, which renders the init script useless
2. the regexp used to check if cassandra is running does not match the
launching command line (There is no "-user." in the launch command)
