openvpn --script-security is not working

[Marc Gariépy]

== Rationale ==
The openvpn init script calculates script_security based on what's set in /etc/openvpn/{$NAME}.conf, however that variable isn't currently being passed to openvpn itself.
This was likely caused by a mismerge with Debian.

== Test case ==
1) Don't set script_security in /etc/openvpn/{$NAME}.conf
2) set a line "up ./server.up" in /etc/openvpn/{$NAME}.conf
3) Restart openvpn
4) Ensure that --script-security is passed to the daemon

== Regression potential ==
Can't think of any, unless someone had an invalid script_security value which was currently being ignored and may then break their VPN. However this is technically a bad config and wouldn't really qualify as a bug.

--- original bug report ---

On ubuntu 12.04, the option ""--script-security 2"" is never added to the command line of openvpn daemon
here is the diff that need to be applied to the /etc/init.d/openvpn to start the daemon correctly.

If you need more information, please let me know.
