Resolves: bug 243221
Bug Description: The directory synchronization between DS and
 Active Directory fails if an entry has an initials attribute
 containing too many characters. There is no constraint on the
 DS side, so the sync should handle this better than failing. It
 should ignore the attribute or truncate it and flag a warning,
 or skip the invalid entry.

Files: see diff
Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: These diffs address the attribute length constraint
 of the "initials" attribute by trimming attribute values larger than
 the 6 character limit imposed by AD.  This trimming occurs in the
 DS -> AD direction only.

 What this means is that you can store an initials attribute value of
 "longname" in DS, but the value will be trimmed to "longna" when
 sent to AD.  This trimmed attribute will not be synch'd back to DS
 on the next Dirsync operation.  This case is handled by only comparing
 the first 6 characters of the initials attribute value when changes go
 in the AD -> DS direction.
Platforms tested: FC6
Flag Day: no
Doc impact: Yes. We should document the trimming behavior of the initials attribute.
