Issue Description

AD provides flexibility, to AD client, to use shortcuts values in filter components.
For example objectCategory [1] or objectSID [2] allows shortcuts.
The transformation of the filter components assertion can be done with a plugin using slapi_compute_add_search_rewriter.

The RFE is to create a "generic" plugin that registers rewriter callback, plugin/callbacks being referenced in the config. So a third party rewriter plugin/callback could easy be integrated with 389-ds.

Package Version and Platform

N/A

Steps to reproduce

  1. N/A - need to provide a test case the use that plugin

Actual results

Currently rewriter need a new plugin (init/start/stop/config/rewriters callbacks)

Expected results

rewriter should be a shared library only containing the rewriter callbacks

An alternate approach could be to have something like memberof but when an objectClass contains one of the matching oc types, we extract and generate a corresponding objectCategory on the object - then we can just use it as a true attribute rather than as something that is a filter rewrite?
