add an option to ldapsearch for not encoding values to base64

[davidcoutadeur]

add an option to ldapsearch for not encoding values to base64 (like ldif-wrap=no for not wrapping the lines)

Two options for this need:

• do this directly to ldapsearch source code (contribution to openldap)
• create a wrapper in slapd-cli project that embed ldapsearch and decode values.

We have to think about the implications about binary values: do we have a way to detect them and still encode them even if the option is passed?

For the record, there is already an already an option that does nearly this feature, except it writes in multiple files the output of non-ascii values. See option -t and -tt in the manual

Example:

ldapsearch -x -H 'ldap://localhost:389' -D 'cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com' -w secret -b 'ou=people,dc=my-domain,dc=com' -LLL '(uid=test)' -tt
dn: uid=test,ou=people,dc=my-domain,dc=com
