drop Cyrus 1.5 support



Given that Cyrus 2.1 has been around for quite a while now, and 1.5 has been
unmaintained for more than a year, I think it would be a good idea to drop
the 1.5 support from our code. At this point I only see it being a source of
unnecessary hassles (see ITS#2484 and ITS#2694 for currently known problems
due to using Cyrus 1.5.27).

Whether we change this in 2.1 (and how) is open in my mind, but we should
probably eliminate all traces of Cyrus 1.5 support in the OpenLDAP 2.2 code.

Comments?

Okay by me.  But maybe we should discuss this on -devel first.
