init script needlessly 'su's, and non-superuser use fails
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-603
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Environment: Unix
Reporter: Chad MILLER
Priority: Trivial
The init script runs 'su' if the COUCHDB_USER variable is set, but it doesn't
need to if the script is already running as that user. Add an additional
condition on that test, so that normal role users can start and stop the server.
