openldap sync search perf improvement for samba DC

[Jim McDonough]

The following patch was just posted into OpenLDAP HEAD.  We've still got 
some testing to do with samba 3.0, but the gist of it is that 
ldap_search_s was only requesting one entry returned at a time, while the 
async version was allowing many entires.  The network performance hit was 
enormous, and an 8-second ldapsearch query (uses async) was taking 50 
seconds through samba (sync).
