Init script broken on FreeBSD

Created by: clorichel

I'm sorry to say @drunkard commit https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/commit/4c5adb702caef0aebe0d10416521e24e68fa0801 broke the init script on FreeBSD.

See https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/lib/support/init.d/gitlab#L47

Without -s $shell_path it works like a charm. For sure, yes I replaced shell_path to "/usr/local/bin/bash"

FreeBSD man page for su gives the clue : -s has nothing to do with a shell choice on FreeBSD... see https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=su&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-stable&arch=default&format=html

Without altering https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/lib/support/init.d/gitlab#L47 to remove the -s $shell_path part, on FreeBSD you get stuck to git shell with nothing starting :

root@host:/usr/home/git/gitlab # service gitlab start
[git@host ~]$
