Modifying the start-rpm-template and LinuxPlugin such that where the defaultLinuxLogsLocation is overridden the deamon log will be assigned to this overridden location. This was causing an issue given that the rpm would create the log location at the new location, but the daemon was still logging in the default location which was not created by the rpm. Tested on CENTOS 6.7

Added test coverage for defaultLinuxInstallLocation and defaultLinuxLogsLocation for init.d files generated upon creation of rpm
