userPassword: {UNIX}uid [was: Authentication with UNIX username/password (ITS#212)]

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

I've committed changes based upon ST's submission...

Given entries:
	dn: cn=user,dc=foo
	objectclass: person
	cn: user
	userPassword: {UNIX}uid

and slapd will obtain the passwd entry getpwnam("uid") and
use crypt(3) to compare the supplied password with pw_passwd
field.  Also supports shadowed password files.

Enjoy!  Kurt
