IPA has some unused code from abandoned features (Radius, ipa 1.x user
input, commant-line tab completion), as well as some duplicate utilities.
This patch cleans up the utility modules.
Duplicate code consolidated into ipapython.ipautil:
{ipalib.util,ipaserver.ipautil,ipapython.ipautil}.realm_to_suffix
{ipaserver,ipapython}.ipautil.CIDict
(with style improvements from the ipaserver version)
{ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_value
{ipapython.entity,ipaserver.ipautil}.utf8_encode_values
ipalib.util.get_fqdn was removed in favor of the same function in
ipaserver.install.installutils
Removed unused code:
ipalib.util:
load_plugins_in_dir
import_plugins_subpackage
make_repr (was imported but unused; also removed from tests)
ipapython.ipautil:
format_list
parse_key_value_pairs
read_pairs_file
read_items_file
user_input_plain
AttributeValueCompleter
ItemCompleter
ipaserver.ipautil:
get_gsserror (a different version exists in ipapython.ipautil)
ipaserver.ipautil ended up empty and is removed entirely.

IPA Server
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.
