Petr Vobornik 27ea90792f Circular entity dependency
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1531

Each entity is created together with its dependent objects (e.g. facets and dialog boxes). This causes a circular dependency problem because some of the objects need to obtain a reference to another entity that has not been created.

Currently this is handled by storing only the other entity name and resolve it when needed (e.g. during rendering stage). In IPA.search_facet this delays the creation of the table widget, making it more difficult to customize.

One solution is to do the object creation in 2 steps:

 * create all entity objects only
 * create the dependent objects in each entity

Implemented solution:
 * all entities are created on application start
 * dependant objects (facets and dialogs) are created at once on their first use in entity.

Ground rules on adding new schema

Brand new schema, particularly when written specifically for IPA, should be
added in share/*.ldif. Any new files need to be explicitly loaded in
ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py. These simply get copied directly into
the new instance schema directory.

Existing schema (e.g. in an LDAP draft) may either be added as a separate
ldif in share or as an update in the updates directory. The advantage of
adding the schema as an update is if 389-ds ever adds the schema then the
installation won't fail due to existing schema failing to load during
bootstrap.

If the new schema requires a new container then this should be added
to install/bootstrap-template.ldif.
