release 0.9.13 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 the collected smaller improvements and bugfixes over the last
few years. This release should be considered stable.

The pynslcd implementation still is not considered as stable as nslcd
and has not seen major development over the last few years.

A summary of the changes since 0.9.12:

* add a command line -f, --config option to specify an alternate
  configuration file
* add a command line -t, --test option to check the configuration file
  validity
* support passwords with up to 255 characters
* fixes for potential memory issues in parsing configuration file
* fix NULL pointer deref on out of memory
* fix race condition in thread start-up (thanks Consus)
* fix issue with stopping threads on shutdown (thanks Consus)
* provide compatibility with musl libc (thanks Cristian Othón Martínez
  Vera)
* fix compilation issues on NetBSD (thanks Brett Lymn)
* use closefrom() if available to fix slow invalidation on FreeBSD
  (thanks Alan Somers)
* fix file descriptor leaking from process starting nslcd
