[Samba] Upgrade 4.8 to 4.9 with Backend-Change to lmdb?

Hi Oliver,

it is not possible to do an inplace upgrade going from TDB to LMDB. In 
order to upgrade, you have to join a new server using the 
--backend-store=mdb option. I've done some extensive stress testing on 
LMDB DC in lab environment and it works pretty well.

By default samba-tool is still doing TDB provising, but I hope it will 
switch to default on LMDB with the next major release, because it is 
really a great piece of work that has been done here by Andrew and his team!

Cheers,

Denis
