systemv init: "$PID_FILE does not exist, process is not running" can be wrong

[igalic]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: any
• Ruby: any
• Distribution: Debian/Ubuntu
• Module version: v2.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

¯(°_o)/¯

What are you seeing

when kafka died a horrible death (unclean shutdown? kill -9?) it can happen that the pid file isn't cleaned up properly. So, even though it's running, our init script says it's not, and doesn't even attempt to stop it

What behaviour did you expect instead

same as systemd…

Any additional information you'd like to impart

this is my fault, sorry

i think we fixed this in #94 and #96
