  defaults file is ignored

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Server start up options set in /etc/default/bind9 via the OPTIONS
  variable are ignored.

  The fix is to have the systemd service file source that file and use
  the given OPTIONS value. This is already being done in Ubuntu Artful
  and higher. The fix here is the same.

  [Test Case]

  # install bind9
  $ sudo apt install bind9

  # start it up
  $ sudo service bind9 start

  # inspect the command line of the process:
  $ ps fxaw|grep named|grep -v grep
    396 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/named -f -u bind

  # edit /etc/default/bind9 and include "-4" to the OPTIONS value so it looks like this:
  # startup options for the server
  OPTIONS="-4 -u bind"

  # restart bind9
  sudo service bind9 restart

  # inspect the process command line again. Only the fixed version of the package will include the newly added "-4" parameter:
  $ ps fxaw|grep named|grep -v grep
  17891 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/named -f -4 -u bind

  
  [Regression Potential] 
  Administrators who have for some reason altered the defaults file with an incorrect value for OPTIONS might be surprised after this update, since now that file is actually parsed and if it's indeed incorrect, the service may fail to start.

  [Other Info]
  None at this time.
