The man page for qsort(3) says that the comparison function is called
with pointers to pointers to char but memcmp(3) wants a pointer to void
so we need to cast and dereference.
Without this the qsort() call wasn't properly sorting the elements so
a random password was being removed rather than the oldest when the
list overflowed.

User always receives the same error message if he changes his password
via "ipa passwd" command and the new password fails configured
password policy. He then has to investigate on his own the actual
reason why was the policy violated. This patch improves our SLAPI PWD
plugins to provide a better error message explaining the violation
reason.
