For asynchronous usage, it is common to create a "write" callback and perform all request sending in this callback from an internal queue. However, since ldap_open() was deprecated, there is no way to ensure a connection is established before the request is sent.

This patch adds a function: int ldap_connect(LDAP *ld). You can call this function immediately after ldap_initialize() to ensure that a file descriptor is created for polling. No default behaviour changes, so applications that don't call ldap_connect() will always get the default lazy connection.
