Hi,

it seems like Nomad does not read the `/usr/local/etc/nomad/` directory for its
configuration or using it as its '-config' flag.

So by default nomad will not run/start with `service nomad start` command and
we have to edit the rc.d/nomad file read its etc config files.

I see various options to correct this:
1. Make it to read files inside /usr/local/etc/nomad/ directory as its config
files.
2. Add a ${nomad_config} variable to use it as -config flag if available.
3. Add a ${nomad_mode} variable to determine whether it's a server, client, or
dev mode. furthermore completely ignore etc directory and make users to use the
${nomad_args} variable for hcl config files if they want.

IMHO, the first option will be compatible with the principle of least surprise
(POLA).
