s4: LDB DN validity checks

I've realised that at the moment we are doing DN checks at the beginning
of each LDAP server operation. At the first glance this might be useful,
but it is only done on exactly this backend. So I tried to remove these
checks and see what happens: ldap.py and other DN checks passed beside
one case which I had to patch ("objectclass" commit) also without them.
That means our LDB modules already perform such checks implicitly - with
the advantage that this works on each type of external access.
Also the LDB tools enforce such checks at the beginning, but I propose
to let them in place since these are essential for non-SAM LDB
databases. So I've fixed them up a little (consistent error messages and
better return code LDB_ERR_INVALID_DN_SYNTAX).
