rootpw in slapd.conf read from file (ITS#1113)

The patch allows the rootpw in slapd.conf to be read form a separate file.
I found it useful when many applications for some reason need to share the
(cleartext) rootpw on the same machine without requiring the effort of setting
up a kerberos system. The file name is prepended with a {FILE} tag, and must 
begin with a directory separator (i.e. be a full pathname). Another possibility
would be to use a URL of the form file://path-to-file ...
