Own pure Python parser for LDAPv3 schema support

[Jens Vagelpohl]

well, for what it's worth, the schema.py and schema_tree.py demos in the 
Demo folder work very nicely against my test server (OpenLDAP 2.1.3).

as far as performance goes, the subjective performance seems to be the 
same as it was with the other implementation. not sure if that's any kind 
of useful indicator, though.

i think this is great stuff. thanks michael!!! i plan on using this to 
offer select widgets in places where i had to rely on people typing 
objectClass names into text boxes before...
