tl;dr implements the result of the discussion in [0]. First, this removes the dreaded LDAP DN regex, replacing it instead with a proper schema format, which does validation using Net::LDAP::Util::canonical_dn().
Further, upon saving a LDAP realm in the UI, it tries to connect & bind using the provided credentials, providing the user with immediate feedback whether they are valid or not. The same approach is already implemented in PBS [1]. Changes was done against slapd 2.5.13+dfsg-5.
