It has just occurred to me - duh - that the process ID of a back-shell
command is a perfectly good unique ID for it, and more useful than
any connection id/message id thingy. Doesn't need extra arguments
to the shell commands either, except a pid: line to abandon.
And msgid: can still be removed in a future version.
Here is a patch.

Here is a patch which does what I described. Of course, someone has
to decide if that is the right solution:-)
- Add an "opid:" line to the input to back-shell commands.
- Add an "abandonid: <opid> line to back-shell/abandon input.
- Replace message id with opid in back-tcl arguments.
- Add an abandonid = <opid> argument to back-tcl/abandon.
An opid (operation ID) is a "connection ID/message ID" string. I
would have liked to use another name to avoid confusion with struct
slap_op->o_opid, but I could not think of another apt word.
This also fixes ITS#1784 and ITS#1792. Since calling conventions
changed anyway, I fixed back-shell by adding abandonid: and making
opid: always be the ID of the current operation.
