Revert unnecessary use of /bin/echo -n

In response to bug #602038, the init-functions scripts in lsb-base have been
changed to use /bin/echo -n instead of echo -n.  This results in a lot of
added forks which are unnecessary and inappropriate: 'echo -n' is guaranteed
by Debian policy to be supported by the shell.

Closes: #708337
