Add Upstart job.
Merge pull request #685 from CameronNemo/patch-1

ENH: Create fail2ban.upstart
Update fail2ban.upstart

It was actually a little problematic :)
Update fail2ban.upstart

No longer directly exec the server, do not remove the PID file because it is unnecessary to do so. No longer respawns because Upstart can not track the process with the starter command.

Fix typos referencing  paths-common, provide empty defaults for syslog_ log files (Partial fix to #682)
ENH(TST): relax test of sleep to "1" places from "2"

be equal to 1.  Making it spaces==1 should be sufficient for up to 1.05
i.e. we would allow 50ms "drift"
ENH: For syslog use SYSLOG_PID over _PID in systemd journal log format
Block brute-force attempts against the Monit gui
BF: testDatabase -- close and unlink the created test db file
ENH(DOC): Move contributions related docs into CONTRIBUTING.md so it pops up when people file PR/issues

As was original "discovered" while running tests on OSX with python2.6:
http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/builders/fail2ban-py2.7-osx-10.6_master/builds/6/steps/shell_2/logs/stdio
DOC: minor -- added a link to pull requests in CONTRIBUTING
ENH: Move traceback formatter to from tests.utils to helpers

Now allows for tests to be removed from package if desired
very minor
