Subtree renames and linked attributes

[Andrew Bartlett]

I've been chasing down a number of bugs been reported against Samba4 by 
Matthias Wallnöfer <mwallnoefer at yahoo.de>, and these two look like
issues we need to solve on a broader scale, in ldb:
 - https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4838 
 - https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4818

It seems to me that we need a way to rename objects in the LDB, and have
references to that object (including children) update correctly.

I'm happy to go off and use the transactions code to rename all children
(not knowing how that impacts on replication), but how should we cope
with renames and linked attributes?  

I suppose we could make all DNs in attributes be stored as GUIDs and
resolved at search time?

Thoughts?
