[Bug 390579] [NEW] Enable UDP support (-DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS) for Likewise-Open

[Thierry Carrez]

Public bug reported:

Our OpenLDAP is compiled (as is the default) without client support for
CLDAP (connection-less LDAP, over UDP). This is primarily due to CLDAP
never making it into a standard, as evidenced by its proposed move to
historical status as RFC3352.

However, CLDAP is used by Active Directory, and Likewise-Open requires
its (client) openldap library to support CLDAP in order to talk with
Active Directory. This makes Likewise-Open 5 compile and bundle its own
OpenLDAP library for the sole purpose of getting CLDAP client support
built-in.

As Likewise-Open 5 is scheduled to move to main on this cycle, it makes
sense to try to avoid shipping a private OpenLDAP library with it.
Outcome of the discussion at UDS with Howard Chu was that enabling
-DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS should not have adverse performance or stability
consequences.
