d837bb38a4 contrib/init: fix unused variables in openrc script (jpk68)

Pull request description:

  - Makes it so that `${BITCOIND_BIN}` is actually used as `command=`, rather than the hardcoded `/usr/bin/bitcoind`.
  - Passes `BITCOIND_GROUP` to `start-stop-daemon`, so that the daemon process itself runs under it.
