Bug Description: Windows sync support in IPA- setup and configuration

Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: This patch adds support for Windows Sync and the IPA 
Winsync plugin
ipa-server-install and ipa-replica-manage

The only change to server install is to just add the ipa winsync plugin 
config entry.

A Windows Sync agreement is added via ipa-replica-manage add.  I had to add
additional flags to make it work:
  --port=PORT           port number of other server
  --binddn=BINDDN       Bind DN to use with remote server
  --bindpw=BINDPW       Password for Bind DN to use with remote server
  --winsync             This is a Windows Sync Agreement
  --cacert=CACERT       Full path and filename of CA certificate to use with
                        TLS/SSL to the remote server

The tricky part is installing the Windows CA cert.  I had to add support 
to shutdown the ds, install the ca cert in the ds cert db, and restart 
the ds, before adding the sync agreement.  The rest was pretty easy, 
since replication agreements are almost like sync agreements.
