Bug Description: ./ns-slapd crashes on bind containing invalid dn and password
Reviewed by: Noriko (Thanks!)
Branch: Directory71RtmBranch
Fix Description: It's really crashing on the search request.  The problem is that the server assumes all strings are encoded in utf8 format, since that is the only encoding allowed by the LDAP standards.  Non-utf8 works in most places except the function slapi_utf8StrToLower(), which returns NULL given a string of non-utf8 bytes.  The fix for this particular problem is to check for a NULL return value and handle accordingly.
The real solution to this problem would be for the server to check for valid utf8 strings in _all_ LDAP data, according to the syntax of the attribute (e.g. for binary or octet string syntax data, and other binary formats, all bets are off, but then we shouldn't be doing strtolower on these blobs either).
And, while we're at it, add data validation based on syntax for _all_ attributes e.g. in a pre-op.
