Support separate backend for system users #61

Description

@jof

I would like to get this cookbook into a state where it can be used to fully bootstrap a server and replication environment.
However, in its current form, it assumes some things about there being a single database and suffix.

For example, let's say I operate LDAP for example.com under dc=example,dc=com

If I want to bootstrap two nodes, replicating off of one another before loading in my data from a backup, replication can't exist, because the configuration is assuming that data is already loaded with a "syncrole" user.

Another approach I would like to have considered would be to setup a second back-ldif database and directory for system users, like for cn=syncrole, cn=config, etc.
It could be named "cn=system_users", for example, and into there we could create a user like "cn=syncrole,cn=system_users", independent of whatever BDB/HDB database content is being setup.
