ssf=0 disallowd in ACLs



I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding the behavior I'm seeing, but let me
try to be brief, and helpful here in describing the issue I'm seeing:

In ACLs (OpenLDAP 2.2.15, 2.2.16 are what I tested), ssf=0 triggers
the following error:

  /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 122: invalid ssf value (0)

There might in fact be a good reason for dropping the default security
level.  E.g., in some scenarios it's perfect appropriate if the remote
host is local (127.0.0.1, suppose) for authentication to occur cleartext
over an unencrypted link, even though everywhere else this might not be
permitted.
