This won't probably be as easy as I expected: back-meta does not check, 
parse or return entry controls.  This needs to be fixed as well.

I notice that back-ldap and back-meta use ldap_first_entry() to parse 
the entry.  Syncrepl client-side code uses a ldap_get_entry_controls() 
and explicit entry parsing.

Probably we need to abstract what syncrepl does in a new libldap call 
that parses an entry and its controls, and use it as appropriate.
