/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon.patch

Description of problem:

According to the Fedora SysVinitscript documentation [1], avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd do not return the expected exit codes for certain operations. 

I have attached a patches that correct the behavior by making use of the built-in killproc and daemon functions.

[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingSysVInitScript#Exit_Codes_for_the_Status_Action

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * avahi-0.6.25-6.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
 * 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the AutoQA beakerlib-based avahi initscript test (see instructions at
https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/wiki/initscripts)

Actual Results (same for avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd):
