Title: Remove "su -c" from upstart scripts

Starting salt via su should be avoided. The original reason to exec via su was to read in /etc/environment - if this is needed then it should be done by adding ". /etc/environment" to the appropriate defaults file (/etc/default/salt-{minion,master,syndic}.
