Make python-ldap optional for PyPI packages

python-ldap is a Python package with heavy C extensions. In order to
build python-ldap, not only OpenLDAP development headers are necessary,
but also OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, and MIT KRB5 development headers.

A fully functional ipaclient doesn't need an LDAP driver. It talks JSON
RPC over HTTPS to a server. python-ldap is only used by ipapython.dn.DN
to convert a string to a DN with ldap_str2dn(). The function is simple
and can be wrapped with ctypes in a bunch of lines.
