RE: backglue.c sometimes falsely returns LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED (ITS#2888)

The user-enforced limits are honored correctly, with
a possible exception when the user requests a limit
that's exactly equal to the number of entries, which
I do not recall whether it should be a success or a
sizelimit exceeded.

For administrative limits, I think there's a design issue:
each database in the glued pool will take care of enforcing
admin limits within its scope; we also need to take care of
the global (or glued) limits, which, of course, can only be
of global scope.  So the glue_back_search() will need to find
if there's any, and apply them.  Did I miss anything?
