[pve-devel] [PATCH common v2 1/5] schema: add `ldap-dn` format for validating LDAP distinguished names

The Net::LDAP library conveniently provides a canonical_dn() function,
which can be used to (roughly) check if a DN is valid or not. This will
be used in future changes to replace the current dreaded regex to
validate DNs.

pve-common previously already (silently) depended on the Net::LDAP
library (see PVE::LDAP), but `libnet-ldap-perl` was missing in the
control file - fix it while at it.
