Re: back-monitor requires non-builtin schema entities

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

Back-monitor should use a schema_prep.c like scheme for
1) loading monitor-specific schema
2) ensuring required general-purpose schema is load

One can use a variant of schema_load which only registers
new elements when a definition is provided (for monitor-specific
schema) but always verifies that the element is defined (for
all needed elements).
