#1666: make init script check config before restarting

 Today, if I restart varnish and have made a config mistake - varnish dies
 and I'm having to scramble.. :(

 icinga, named, apache and other init scripts all check config BEFORE doing
 restart and simply exits with an error if config check fails.

 I'd very much like varnish to do the same - I'd suggest simply doing:
 varnishd -C -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl
 and checking return value from that.
