OpenLDAP 2.6.0 testing call

This is the first testing call for OpenLDAP 2.6.0 Release. Depending on the results, this may be the only testing call.

Generally, get the code for RE26:

https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/archive/OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6/openldap-OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6.tar.gz

Extract, configure, and build.

Execute the test suite (via make test) after it is built. Optionally, cd tests && make its to run through the regression suite.

A list of items fixed and added in 2.6 can be found at:

A major change with 2.6 is the ability to bypass syslog for logging (ITS#6949). This significantly improves slapd performance. Currently this is being adjusted so that lloadd also supports this new feature, but it can be tested with slapd at this time.

Additionally, the following deprecated backends have been removed:

back-ndb back-shell
