Global overlays (such as pw-sha2 from contrib) are unusable with cn=config. 
This is because the module is loaded after the bootstrap of cn=config.ldif.

I.e., add the module as loaded:

olcModuleLoad: {7}pw-sha2.la to dn: cn=module{0}, cn=config

In cn=config.ldif, set:

olcPasswordHash: {SSHA512}

As long as slapd is not restarted, this works, because the module gets loaded,
and then the password hash gets set with the module loaded.

If you stop slapd and restart it, slapd will fail to load because it is loading
cn=config.ldif with the olcPasswordHash set to something it doesn't recognize
because it has not yet loaded the modules:
