[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#746727: cn=config olcPasswordHash and contrib passwd modules

Quanah noticed, and mentioned to me in IRC, that if you are using 
cn=config and you set olcPasswordHash to a scheme provided by a module, 
then slapd won't start, because it processes the global cn=config before 
diving into the cn=module subtree(s). (It does work if you use 
slapd.conf and specify moduleload before password-hash.)

I think this doesn't affect pw-netscape and pw-apr1 too badly, since 
they are meant for importing existing hashes and shouldn't be used as 
the scheme for new users; but users of pw-sha2 and pw-pbkdf2 are likely 
to hit this.

I had already added pw-sha2 in git; I'm going to leave it as is for the 
moment, pending reaction from upstream, but this should be considered 
before uploading that.

thanks,
Ryan
