LDAP SASL BIND to authenticate to a directory server using a Kerberos ticket Kerberos encryption

The OpenLDAP API is the de facto standard in the open source world. We need to make the Mozilla API compatible with it.

+===DONE: Merge Sun C SDK code back into Mozilla===
-The code has been imported - thanks to Anton for cleaning up the licenses!  I've imported it into mozilla/directory/suncsdk (including the coreconf directory):

- cvs -z3 import -m "Initial import of the Sun C SDK back into mozilla" \
- mozilla/directory/suncsdk SUN_LDAP_C_SDK SUN_LDAP_C_SDK_0_01
-So to check it out, assuming you have your Mozilla CVSROOT set properly:
- cvs checkout mozilla/directory/suncsdk
-* liblber
-** Sun is using ber typedefs for the ber tags, lengths, sizes, and they are using the same typedefs as OpenLDAP uses (e.g. see /usr/include/lber_types.h on a linux system).  This will help with OpenLDAP compatability.
-** decode.c - Sun added explicit boundary checking for bad ber lengths, and explicit freeing of allocated buffers upon ber failures
-** in io.c - Sun has a slightly different implementation of BerRead, as well as several other improvements in ber i/o (tunable buffer size, ber stats, and much more)
-** nsldap_ber_realloc - The Sun version keeps track of the number of reallocs
