ldb: added ldb_dn_minimise()

this removes any extraneous components from a DN. For an extended DN,
this means removing the string DN and all but the first extended
component.

This is needed as AD returns "invalid syntax" if you don't use
a minimal DN as the base DN for a search. A non-minimal DN also
doesn't ever match in a search expression.
