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.
