I temporarily fixed the problem in HEAD; a more complete fix would require
moving DN parsing macros from libraries/libldap/getdn.c to a header, and
replace those macros in servers/slapd/slap.h that are duplicate.

I also note that the smae problem may potentially occur in all places
where slapd uses the DN_SEPARATOR() macro (e.g. in ACLs, in limits, in
backend selection and more) so I modified that code as well, and I'm about
to commit this.
