sync

Fix Description: Add support for account disable sync and force sync
* Account disable sync - AD uses the userAccountControl attribute 
ACCOUNTDISABLE value http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144
We have to sync that with the nsAccountLock attribute used by DS.  In 
IPA, nsAccountLock is a virtual attribute generated by the membership of 
the user or group in the cn=inactivated group (or enabled if in the 
cn=activated group or not in any group - the account is enabled if 
nsAccountLock is not present).  The sync can be done in 1 of 4 ways, 
with the config attribute ipaWinSyncAcctDisable:
    *  none - no account disable sync occurs
    * to_ad - account disable is only synced from IPA to AD, not from AD 
to IPA
    * to_ds - account disable is only synced from AD to IPA, not from 
IPA to AD
    * both - account disable is synced in both directions
I added some code to let the plugin find the cn=inactivated and 
cn=activated groups dynamically
* Force Sync - by default, the DS will only sync existing IPA users if 
they have the ntUser objectclass, and the ntUserDomainID set to the 
Windows user ID (e.g. the samAccountName).  With the config attribute 
ipaWinSyncForceSync set to "true", any IPA user that has a matching 
account in Windows will be forced to be in sync - the IPA user will have 
the ntUser objectclass added automatically, and the ntUserDomainID set 
to the matching account samAccountName value.  The existing winsync code 
already handles adding ntUserDomainID, so the ipa winsync plugin just 
has to add ntUser.
