Christian Heimes 2a459ce0f2 Make python-ldap optional for PyPI packages
python-ldap is a Python package with heavy C extensions. In order to
build python-ldap, not only OpenLDAP development headers are necessary,
but also OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, and MIT KRB5 development headers.

A fully functional ipaclient doesn't need an LDAP driver. It talks JSON
RPC over HTTPS to a server. python-ldap is only used by ipapython.dn.DN
to convert a string to a DN with ldap_str2dn(). The function is simple
and can be wrapped with ctypes in a bunch of lines.

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
