Broken SysVinit script -- Consul fails to start on RHEL platforms (Amazon Linux, CentOS, etc.)

[agperson]

Standard "init" fails to start due to quoting of $CMD. Removing quotation marks fixes issue:

[root@server1 consul.d]# service consul start
Starting consul
Running: /usr/bin/consul agent -config-dir /etc/consul.d
Unable to start consul, see /var/log/consul.log

Logfile is empty but in messages:

Mar 20 21:50:06 server1 consul: /etc/init.d/consul: line 46: /usr/bin/consul agent -config-dir /etc/consul.d: No such file or directory

After removing quotation marks:

[root@server1 consul.d]# service consul start
Starting consul

Change is: #115 (77b2fd9 line 44)

[hatchetation]

This issue affects us as well on RHEL, this would seem to affect all platforms using SysVinit. The fix @agperson mentions works well here, seems sane.
