Migrate to openldap 2.5+

[ellert]

Summary

Issue #41 describes how updating to openldap 2.5 or later breaks bdii due to the removal of the hdb slapd backend used by bdii. The issue is now more urgent, since RedHat Enterprise Linux 9, and derivatives such as CentOS Stream 9 and Rocky Linux 9, uses openldap 2.6.

This PR proposes a migration to the mdb slapd backend. The changes were first proposed by andreas.haupt@desy.de in a bugzilla ticket for the EPEL 9 version of bdii in the RedHat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2150344

Thanks a lot @ellert!
We have seen that in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bdii/c/68201bd332defa7cd8fba764c5b2ade85cdd08fe?branch=rawhide you are using a patch to do this only for >= C9, I guess we may want to do the same.

So can we borrow your patch? or maybe you want to add it yourself to this PR?

We have discussed this with @andrea-manzi and we plan to:

• build a version for CentOS 7 (and CentOS 8 Stream in case one wants it) with python3 and hdb support
• build a version for CentOS 9 Stream with python3 and mdb
• To be clarified what we do for debian, as debian bullesye is still using slapd 2.4, so it may be safer to also use mdb conditionnaly on debian, what do you think? For debian we could also add building to the GitHub actions pipeline. How do you want to proceed with this?

You should also have received an invitation to join the EGI Federation org, if you accept it would grant you write rights to this repo and to a bunch of other BDII repos, I guess it makes sense.

The patch in the Fedora/EPEL build is generated from the git commit in the PR:

git format-patch a3312f9~1..a3312f9
