Summary:                    [patch] Improve LDAP server configuration for
res_config_ldap
Description: 
This patch alters res_config_ldap.c so that full LDAP URL is used
internally to represent the LDAP server to use instead of using hostname
and port variables. It's also possible to specify the full URL in
res_ldap.conf using the new url keyword instead of just specifying host and
port (but this works too, of course, so existing configurations should not
break due to this change). Rationale behind this is that using a URL you
can specify extra settings for the connections that are not available
otherwise (e.g. you can use ldapi:// urls when connecting to a local
OpenLDAP server, or you can specify the scope of the queries, see
ldap_url(3) manual page for more info).

Also currently the port setting code is broken. It generates invalid LDAP
URLs if both host and port of the LDAP server is specified in the
configuration file.

The patch also fixes setting of the protocol. You can specify this in the
configuration file, but the setting was never applied to the LDAP
connection. Thus all connections were using LDAPv2 by default (at least
when Asterisk is compiled against OpenLDAP 2.4).
