gpg: Implement the LDAP AKL method.

Browse source 
* g10/keyserver.c (keyserver_import_mbox): Add arg flags and change
callers.
(keyserver_import_ldap): Remove.  It has always returned a not
implemented error since 2.1.
* g10/getkey.c (get_pubkey_byname): Repurpose LDAP to do basically the
same as KEYSERVER.

The old LDAP mechanism to locate a server via SRV records has long
been gone (since 2014) due to the dropping of the keyserver helpers.
The new purpose better reflects reality and can be used in
environments where keys are provided by an in-house LDAP server.

Locate a key using the Web Key Directory protocol.
@item ldap
Using DNS Service Discovery, check the domain in question for any LDAP
keyservers to use. If this fails, attempt to locate the key using the
PGP Universal method of checking @samp{ldap://keys.(thedomain)}.
Locate the key using the configured LDAP servers. This method is
similar to the @code{keyserver} mechanism but always uses only LDAP
servers.
@item ntds
Locate the key using the Active Directory (Windows only). This
method also allows one to search by fingerprint using the command
@option{--locate-external-key}. Note that this mechanism is
actually a shortcut for the mechanism @samp{keyserver} but using
actually a shortcut for the mechanism @samp{ldap} using only
"ldap:///" as the keyserver.
