Fix configuration corruption issue

In the event that the configuration was corrupt the first time the
SSSD is started, it would write in the special data for attributes
and indexes, but it would fail before writing the version.

Subsequent reloads (even with correct configuration files) would
fail, since they would try again to write the attributes and
indexes and fail since they were already present.
