This feature allows to fetch keyblock by keyblock from an LDAP server.
This way tools can process and maybe filter each keyblock in a more
flexible way. Here is an example where two keyblocks for one mail
address are returned:
$ gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr
> ks_get --ldap --first <foo@example.org>
[... First keyblock is returned ]
OK
> ks_get --next
[ ... Next keyblock is returned ]
OK

The idea here is to unify our use of URLS or colon delimited ldap
keyserver specification. The requirement for percent escaping, for
example the bindname in an URLs, is cumbersome and prone to errors.
This we allow our classic colon delimited format as an alternative.
That format makes it also easy to specify flags to tell dirmngr
whether to use starttls or ldap-over-tls. The code is nearly 100%
compatible to existing specification. There is one ambiguity if the
hostname for CRL/X509 searches is just "ldap"; this can be solved by
prefixing it with "ldap:" (already implemented in gpgsm).

There was no way to specify an LDAPS server in
dirmngr_ldapserver.socnf or with gpgsm's --keyserver option. This
patch fixes this. Eventually we should allow to replace host and port
by a partial URI in the same way ldap_initialize does it. For backward
compatibility we do not yet do that.
Although the dirmngr code accepts an URL (eg. taken from a
certificate), I can't see how the scheme was ever used. Thus the
patch also detects an ldaps scheme and uses this. That part has not
been tested, though.
