ImportError: libreplace.so with samba-tool domain provision

[Julien Kerihuel]

Quick update:

Copying /usr/local/samba/lib/ldb/libreplace.so to /usr/local/samba/lib
fixed the import ldb issue and lets user run provisioning script
successfully. Is it worth as a fix or would it impact user some time
later?

Btw, the same issue occurred with 4.0.0 release, so nothing specific to
a recent commit I guess.

Kind Regards,
Julien.
