Issue Description

At the moment schema is a set of ldif files, containing a single entry with all the definitions. Replication of the schema is done with schema learning and eventually schema push.

It could be interesting to make cn=schema a true suffix with a subtree containing the definitions. Replicating the schema suffix could make help to for: getting rid of obsolete definitions, solve schema learning merge ability (the latest definition csn wins).

It would rely on the robust replication and make the schema life cycle easier to anticipated

Package Version and Platform

Steps to reproduce

N/A

Actual results

cn=schema is a single entry containing all defs

Expected results

cn=schema is a true suffix

We can keep root entry for compatibility reason but when all versions are running with cn=schema we will delete the definitions from there.

The schema would look like

dn: cn=schema
...
attributetypes: ( 2.5.4.16 NAME 'postalAddress'  EQUALITY caseIgnoreListMatch  SUBSTR caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41  X-ORIGIN 'RFC 4519' )
...
dn:cn=postalAddress,cn=attributetypes,cn=schema
objectclass: attributetype
type: postalAddress
syntax: postal_Address
matchruleeq: caseIgnoreListMatch
matchrulesub: caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch
matchrulecmp: caseIgnoreListCompare
origin: RFC 4519
version: 1.1
