Get service module working with sudo, add list=status, better error messages.

When running the service module via sudo, `$PATH` didn't contain `/sbin`,
so the service binary couldn't be found.  This just runs `/sbin/service`
directly.  Output is spewed to stderr on error.

Added `list=status` to include the output of `service <cmd> status`.
