This patch allows liblutil to provide the LDIF reading and writing functions as public APIs in a libldif, and exposes ldif.h to the public API.
See also ITS#4033; ldif.h only parses LDIF into chunks/records, it's still up to the caller to turn these records into something meaningful. In fact libldif used to be a library of its own, but in RE22 we made the decision to merge it into liblutil because its functionality is so limited. I don't expect we'll reverse this decision unless/until it gets enough parsing added to it to make it more generally useful.
