s3-smbldap: Add API for external callback to perform LDAP bind in smbldap
In order to support other bind methods, introduce a generic bind callback. When smbldap_state.bind_callback is set, it means there is an alternative way to perform LDAP bind to ldap_simple_bind_s() so call it instead. The call is wrapped in become_root()/unbecome_root() to allow proper permissions in smbd to access needed resources in the callback, for example, credential caches. When run outside smbd, become_root()/unbecome_root() are no-op. The API expectation is similar to ldap_simple_bind_s(). A caller of smbldap API can pass additional information to the callback by setting smbldap_state.bind_callback_data pointer. Both callback and the data pointer elements of smbldap_state structure get cleaned up if someone sets proper credentials on smbldap_state with smbldap_set_creds() so if you are interested in using smbldap_state.bind_dn with the callback, make sure to set callback after credentials are set.
