Samba and it's dependencies

[jagajaga]

Why do we have ceph, openldap, cups etc. enabled by default in samba4?
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix#L8975
That makes a big overhead on desktop systems, where ceph and openldap are not needed in general.
I think it's better to disable them from current samba4 pkg. And make smth like samba_full instead of samba_light.

Or we could make something like libsamba and smbclient which give just the
libraries and smbclient binary without any of those dependencies.

@wkennington good idea!

[wkennington]

I'll work on this as soon as I'm done splitting up all of the kerberos / pam / audit stuff.

[oxij]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[jagajaga]

@wkennington make this ASAP, please. That's a good enchantment for nix and nixos.

/cc #7117, assuming it's mainly about runtime dependencies. IIRC ceph also takes ages to build...

[edolstra]

I actually fixed this on a local branch (because of some gcc 4.9 issue). I'll push that in a moment.
