There are two reasons for the plugin framework:
1. To provide a way of doing manual/complex LDAP changes without having
to keep extending ldapupdate.py (like we did with managed entries).
2. Allows for better control of restarts.
There are two types of plugins, preop and postop. A preop plugin runs
before any file-based updates are loaded. A postop plugin runs after
all file-based updates are applied.
A preop plugin may update LDAP directly or craft update entries to be
applied with the file-based updates.
Either a preop or postop plugin may attempt to restart the dirsrv instance.
The instance is only restartable if ipa-ldap-updater is being executed
as root. A warning is printed if a restart is requested for a non-root
user.
Plugins are not executed by default. This is so we can use ldapupdate
to apply simple updates in commands like ipa-nis-manage.

Repoint cn=Managed Entries,cn=plugins,cn=config in common_setup
Create: cn=Managed Entries,cn=etc,$SUFFIX
Create: cn=Definitions,cn=Managed Entries,cn=etc,$SUFFIX
Create: cn=Templates,cn=Managed Entries,cn=etc,$SUFFIX
Create method for dynamically migrating any and all custom Managed Entries
from the cn=config space into the new container.
Separate the connection creation during update so that a restart can
be performed to initialize changes before performing a delete.
Add wait_for_open_socket() method in installutils

The Managed Entries plugin configurations weren't being created on
replica installs. The templates were there but the cn=config
portions were not.
This patch adds them as updates. The template portion will be added
in the initial replication.
