[Samba] samba4 + openldap: provisioning isnt working

[rektide]

Wiki seems to be out of date here.  The wiki reference's [1] [2] a "setup/provision-backend"
script, as well as a "setup/provision" script, yet current git only has a setup/provision
executable.  Some #samba and #openldap IRC advice was that provision-backend wasnt needed
anymore, but based off the errors i'm seeing, there's definitely _something_ missing, I just
dont know if that something ( /usr/local/samba4/private/ldap/slapd.d/ files ) ought to be
provided by the missing setup/provision-backend.

Following IRC advice, I attempted to just use the setup/provision script.  It didnt work.  I
added a "[running]" print to provisionbackend.py, to see what it was running, so I could
attempt to run slapd as it was running it, with debugging enabled.  Heres the result:

The /usr/local/samba4/private/ldap/slapd.d/ directory is completely empty.  I'm not sure
what is supposed to populate this, but as can be seen from the above debug logs, the slapd
kicked off by setup/provision is definitely expecting there to be contents.  This could very
well be a result of the missing-in-action setup/provision-backend script.

I'll be happy to do some wiki updating if I can get this issue resolved: the OpenLDAP wiki
entry's last major work was the Ides of June 2008.
