Rob Crittenden a4675f6f50 Implement simple LDAP cache layer
Insert a class before LDAPClient to cache the return value
of get_entry() and certain exceptions (NotFound and
EmptyResult). The cache uses an OrderedDict for the cases
where a large cache might result an LRU model can be used.

The cache be enabled (default) or disabled using
ldap_cache=True/False.

This cache is per-request so is not expected to grow
particularly large except in the case of a large batch
command.

The key to the cache entry is the dn of the object
being requested.

Any write to or referencing a cached dn is evicted from
the cache.

The set of attributes is somewhat taken into consideration.
"*" does not always match everything being asked for by
a plugin so unless the requested set of attributes is a
direct subset of what is cached it will be re-fetched. Err
on the side of safety.

Despite this rather conserative approach to caching 29%
of queries are saved with ipatests/xmlrpc_tests/*

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.

A brief overview:

config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
            try to detect this information first and will fall back to
            /etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.

ipautil.py - helper functions

entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
            (but don't add anything currently).

ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
