release 0.9.8 of nss-pam-ldapd

[Arthur de Jong <arthur [at] arthurdejong.org>]

This is an update for the 0.9 development branch of nss-pam-ldapd that
includes a few improvements and bugfixes. This release should be
considered stable.

The pynslcd implementation still is not considered as stable as nslcd.

A summary of the changes since 0.9.7:

* add a pam_authc_search option that can be used to configure the
 
search operation that is performed after authentication
* add nss_uid_offset and nss_gid_offset options that can be used to
  change returned numeric user and group ids from LDAP (thanks Seth
  Wright)
* do not retry failed user password on second LDAP server
* fix a crash in the PAM module on FreeBSD when showing password
  expiration messages
* the validnames option now also applies to shadow lookups
* support ethernet addresses in LDAP in compact and long formats
* improvements to getent.ldap command (a few minor bug fixes and
  preparations for Python 3 support)
* log entries and lookups failing nss_min_uid at debug level
* improvements to the test suite (including tests for getent.ldap)
