feat: publish a prebuilt OpenLDAP-with-nestgroup base image (#187)

Extracts Dockerfile.openldap's `ldapbuild` stage (compile OpenLDAP from
source for the nestgroup overlay, ~5 min, dependent on git.openldap.org
being reachable) into its own Dockerfile, built and pushed to
ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup by this workflow whenever the pinned
commit changes.

This commit only adds the new image + workflow; Dockerfile.openldap itself
still compiles from source. A follow-up change switches it to FROM the
published image once this workflow has run once and the image exists.

name: Build OpenLDAP Base Image
# Publishes ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup, the prebuilt slapd-with-
# nestgroup image Dockerfile.openldap's `ldapbuild` stage pulls FROM instead
# of compiling from source on every build (see Dockerfile.openldap-builder
# for why, and the ~5 minute + git.openldap.org-dependent cost it replaces).
#
# Runs only when the builder Dockerfile changes -- bumping OPENLDAP_COMMIT in
# it is the only reason this image should ever need rebuilding -- or on
# manual dispatch.

# OpenLDAP-with-nestgroup builder, published to
# ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup:<OPENLDAP_COMMIT short hash>.
#
# Extracted out of Dockerfile.openldap's `ldapbuild` stage so the ~5 minute
# from-source compile (which also depends on git.openldap.org being up)
# happens once, here, instead of on every `docker build` of the app image --
# including every CI run's 3-way test matrix. Dockerfile.openldap's ldapbuild
# stage becomes `FROM ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup:<commit>` and the
# rest of that file (the COPY --from=ldapbuild lines) is unchanged, since
# COPY --from also accepts an external image, not just a local stage name.
#
# Bumping OPENLDAP_COMMIT is a two-step change: update the ARG below, push
# (the build-openldap-image workflow rebuilds+republishes the tag on changes
# to this file), then update the matching FROM line in Dockerfile.openldap.
#
# See Dockerfile.openldap's own "OpenLDAP from source" comment for *why*
# from-source at all (the nestgroup overlay, ITS#10161) and the LMDB format
# note (master's 1.0.0 vs 2.6.x's 0.9.x).

# into doc/man unconditionally and its Makefile calls soelim, which groff
