pidofproc function with --pidfile options

[Pawel Golaszewski]

Hello,

I had problem with:
killproc --pidfile 

when pidfile was a bit non-standard.
haproxy started as 2-thread daemon, produces pid file with one pid number 
per line. Current rc-scripts are causing to stop only first process, the 
second one stays untouched.
I don't know if standards allow to have such a pid but rc-scripts should 
handle even such a situation, IMO.

Here is patch that fixes it and works in my system. Not nice but works 
pretty fine. Can it be accepted, arekm?
