Martin Kosek 52ea3a6b29 Refactor dnsrecord processing
Current DNS record processing architecture has many flaws,
including custom execute() methods which does not take advantage
of base LDAP commands or nonstandard and confusing DNS record
option processing.

This patch refactors DNS record processing with the following
improvements:
 * Every DNS record has now own Parameter type. Each DNS record
   consists from one or more "parts" which are also Parameters.
   This architecture will enable much easier implementation of
   future per-DNS-type API.
 * Validation is now not written as a separate function for
   every parameter but is delegated to DNS record parts.
 * Normalization is also delegated to DNS record parts.
 * Since standard LDAP base commands execute method is now used,
   dnsrecord-add and dnsrecord-mod correctly supports --setattr
   and --addattr options.
 * In order to prevent confusion unsupported DNS record types
   are now hidden. They are still present in the plugin so that
   old clients receive proper validation error.

The patch also contains several fixes:
 * Fix domain-name validation and normalization- allow domain
   names that are not fully qualified. For example --cname-rec=bar
   is a valid domain-name for bind which will translate it then
   as bar.<owning-domain>. This change implies, that fully qualified
   domain names must end with '.'.
 * Do not let user accidentally remove entire zone with command
   "ipa dnsrecord-del @ --del-all".
 * Fix --ttl and --class option processing in dnsrecord-add and
   dnsrecord-mod.

All API changes are compatible with clients without this patch.

  What is it?
  -----------

  For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
  centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:

    * Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
      credentials)
    * Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
    * Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof) 

  Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
  products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
  following weaknesses:

    * Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
      less focus on policy and audit.
    * Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
      developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
      world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
      a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
    * Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
      vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
      difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
