A slapd.conf stanza like:

overlay rwm
rewriteEngine on

works correctly in normal usage.

Converting this to cn=config does not emit any olcRwmRewrite values, but
succeeds nonetheless.

The prefixed version:

overlay rwm
rwm-rewriteEngine on

is converted correctly.

In general, cn=config doesn't accept the unprefixed values at all, which is
fine, but at least trying to ldapadd such a value returns an error.

Considering this unimportant for now since the omitting the prefix is "strongly
discouraged" by the man page.

Update man page to note that invalid configuration may not be converted correctly.
