(ITS#8931) deref'ing non-existent attributes should not result in protocolError

In aehostd I try to limit the number of required search requests. Therefore I'm
using the deref control to read group and sudoers entries referenced in service
groups.

If there are no such references (yet) slapd currently returns protocolError.
IMO this is wrong.

It should simply omit the deref response control and the client has to deal with
that.

(No, to save round-trips, log-space and data traffic I don't want to read the
service groups first to determine whether which deref attributes are present.)
