Bug Description: migration results in incomplete admin server sie
Reviewed by: ???

Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: This is a redesign of one of the core pieces of the
setup/migration code - the code that adds the LDAP entries in various
places. For starters, I removed the code that would implicitly delete
existing trees. This is the root cause of this bug, and other similar
problems with setup/instance creation that have been reported. We
should never implicitly delete entries. Instead, we should explicitly
delete entries by using the changetype: delete in an LDIF template file.
Another source of problems was that to update an entry, we would delete
it and add it back. This caused some configuration settings to be wiped
out (e.g. encryption settings). We cannot do this any more. The LDIF
template entries have been modified to have two sets of information for
each entry that requires update - the entry to add if no entry exists
(the full entry) or the changes to make to the entry if it does exist.
The code in Util.pm has been changed to ignore duplicate entries and to
ignore changes made to entries that do not exist.
Another source of problems with migration is that the error checking was
not adequate, especially with FileConn and dse.ldif reading. The fix is
to add better error checking and reporting in these areas of code,
including error messages.
Yet another problem is the run_dir handling. On many platforms the
run_dir is shared among all DS instances and the admin server. Older
versions of the software allowed you to run the servers as root. We
have to make sure run_dir is usable by the least privileged user of all
of the servers.
