patch rc.d script to check configuration validity

The init script for net/relayd does not check the configuration file for errors
before trying to restart the daemon.

As such, it is prone to errors when a tired admin breaks his config, invokes
the script to restart relayd, and ends up with a service outage.


This small patch inspired by nginx's rc.d adds support for configuration sanity
checks before start, reload and restart actions.

It simply issues a relayd -n to ensure the configuration file is sane.


Validated working on 8-STABLE using relayd-5.5.20140810
