+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1104708 +++

Description of problem:
No matter what CATALINA_PID is set to in /etc/sysconfig/${NAME}, /etc/init.d/tomcat assumes the pid file is at /var/run/${NAME}.pid

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.0.33-4

How reproducible:
Set CATALINA_PID to something other name /var/run/${NAME}.pid in /etc/sysconfig/${NAME}

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo 'CATALINA_PID=/var/run/whatsmyname.pid' >> /etc/sysconfig/tomcat
2. service tomcat start

Actual results:
CATALINA_PID=/var/run/tomcat.pid

Expected results:
CATALINA_PID=/var/run/whatsmyname.pid

Additional info:
This ends up a problems because the Tomcat init script sets the ownership on CATALINA_PID to TOMCAT_USER:TOMCAT_GROUP so Tomcat can write to the file, but this will fail when CATALINA_PID is set to something other than /var/run/${NAME}.pid

There was one missing /var/run/${NAME}.pid usage in the above patch, but other than that (which I added in the above commit) it looks good.
