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.

A surrogate parent is supposed to keep back-shell children from
deadlocking due to resources locked by a threading parent.
Implementation note: The surrogate parent closes all unused file
descriptors, so it logs errors to stderr instead of via Debug() and
uses relloc() instead of ch_realloc().
Also close a file descriptor leak if fork() fails in fork.c.

searchexample.conf needs core.schema, otherwise it fails on the suffix
DN. searchexample.sh has a spurious 'sleep', probably from testing.
Also, I suggest 'chmod +x searchexample.sh'.

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.

Changed AttributeDescription.{ad_cname,ad_lang} to struct berval everywhere
Deleted ad_free() everywhere
Added ad_mutex to init.c
The AttributeDescriptions are in a linked list hanging off of the
corresponding AttributeType.
SASL mech removed from backend bind callback (as SASL is managed by frontend)
Changes to some backends are untested (as I don't have all dependent
software install)
user password. Likely to be modified to use bind control
instead. Use of modify deprecated in favor mechanisms that
support passwords stored externally to the directory (such
as in a SASL service).
Modified slapd extended operation infrastructure to support
backend provided extended operations.
and back-ldbm are preserved, they only use the up-cased DNs. back-passwd
uses the mixed-case DN. All others are using mixed-case DN, may need more
fixing.
