GOMAXPROCS discarded by upstart init due to sudo's env_reset option

Hi,

In upstart init version GOMAXPROCS is set correctly but then the actual consul-agent process is started via sudo.
In Ubuntu the default sudo configuration has env_reset configured and GOMAXPROCS is not part of the env_keep configuration.
I'd suggest adding a default for the consul user which has GOMAXPROCS as part of env_keep configuration to avoid it being ignored.

Another alternative is to drop the requirement for using sudo and instead use either /bin/su or setuid and setgid for later versions of upstart.

Arg. I would be down for an alternative to sudo.
