Set unknown attribute syntax to Octet String.
When an unknown attribute type is used (when adding an entry using the extensibleObject objectclass for example), the syntax of the attribute defaults to "Directory String". This places syntax restrictions on the attribute, limiting the attribtues use to specific types of values. This patch changes the syntax for unknown attribute to "Octet String", which allows 0 or more UTF-8 bytes. This will allow unknown attributes to store binary or empty values.
