debugging purposes.

Applied some changes to the mysql.server init script that are already shipped as an additional patch
in the 4.1.10a RPMs for SLES9/RHEL3:

- small improvement: use LSB functions to display startup success and failure, if available.
  Fall back to more primitive builtin functions otherwise.
- joined two pieces of code performing the same functionality into one "wait_for_pid" function
- added a "reload" function (LSB requirement)
