Add in reload option to /etc/init.d/nagios (a la xinetd)

Add in reload method to /etc/init.d/nagios in the same fashion as xinetd

This is dangerous.
If the configuration is rejected by nagios it will just stop.
You have to check it beforehand and bail if it wrong.

Patch to incorporate config file validation

I didn't bother to put in config file validation since the restart option
didn't do it either, but I don't disagree with the intent, so I went ahead and
added it.  I wasn't able to find any good examples for what I needed to do, so
some style changes might be necessary.

Hmm. This is not healthy...

I've updated the script to check the config before start/restart and reload.
In portage... 

Thanks!
