Pid filename incorrect and -j not allowed with 4.1 and ubuntu

[Bert Hekman]

Hi,

I figured out where I could make a pull request to to fix my issues on
github.

It seems that the first issue with the pidfile was already noticed by
someone else and they've made a pull request here:
https://github.com/varnishcache/pkg-varnish-cache/pull/16

I've made a pull request which fixes my second issue with the argument
order:
https://github.com/varnishcache/pkg-varnish-cache/pull/19

If they could be looked at, that would be sweet :)

Cheers,
Bert Hekman
