fix
Parsing gecos(comment) field of /etc/passwd in
servers/slapd/back-passwd/search.c`pw2entry() has issues. I expands '&':
1) anywhere in in gecos, but the expansion must be limited by user's full name.
2) only 1st '&', but all `&'s in full name must be expanded
(nice explanation:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/535189/ampersand-in-the-passwd-gecos-field)
fix attached. It expands each `&', left to right, until expanded user's full
name fits into internal { char buf[1024]; }
