Updated the Ubuntu upstart jobs for glusterd in extras/Ubuntu.

Using upstart jobs, instead of an initscript, solves Bug 765014.
See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648

The new upstart jobs split the work of starting glusterd & mounting glusterfs volumes into two parts: a glusterd service runner and a glusterfs volume moung blocker which waits for the service runner.

This is the method preferred by Ubuntu developers to block a mounting event until a required service is available.  These changes will be included in the Ubuntu glusterfs-server package starting with release 12.04, Precise Pangolin.

Tested on Ubuntu 12.04

 Ubuntu uses upstart instead of init to bootstrap the system and it has a unique
-way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8).  As a result,
-glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before the glusterd service is running.  In
-the case where the client is also a server and the volume is mounted from
-localhost, the mount fails at boot time.  An upstart job for glusterd is needed
-to correct this.

 The glusterd.conf file contains the necessary configuration for upstart to
 manage the glusterd service.  It should be placed in /etc/init/glusterd.conf
 on Ubuntu systems, and then the old initscript /etc/init.d/glusterd can be
