influxdb daemon stdout/stderr discarded, panics not visible

[Dieterbe]

Hi,
currently, any error that happens in influxdb ( daemon) that goes into stdout or stderr, gets lost because scripts/influxdb-daemon.sh, wraps it and sends all stdout and stderr to /dev/null.

there was probably a reason for this, see d40ed03 I wonder why this change was made ( @jvshahid ?)

but i'm thinking we should probably track those streams into a logfile.
Some things can't be logged by the process and appear on stdout/stderr, such as panics.

+1 on this one. I just had to troubleshoot something that would have taken me seconds to track down if we were capturing process panics that kill things.

+1 That explains why I could not debug the SSL error the other day. :(

Panics are fully visible in the log as part of 0.9.0.
