I've got this 95% of the way now, but a fresh pair of eyes is welcomed!

RabbitMQ doesn't support OTP21 anymore, so we need to update which erlang version we use. The default erlang on FreeBSD was OTP21 also, so we are running into a few bugs that "just worked" before because the default OTP was the same as the OTP we run in rabbitmq.

Issues so far:

- startup/shutdown doesn't behave properly
- management plugin can't be enabled

I think this comes from rabbitmq src dropping the ${ERL_DIR} env vars in multiple places, and previously this "just worked", and I haven't found all the places this needs to be fixed yet.

A+
Dave
