In openldap::server::config, if redhat 8-or-newer, there's a systemd::dropin_file that makes a startup file so you can tune the user /usr/sbin/slapd runs as.

The problem is, there's a subtle assumption here that your binary is actually /usr/sbin/slapd. Ever since RHEL7.4, the openldap-servers has been deprecated, so some of us have pivoted over to using Symas' packages, which installs everything in /opt. That is, Puppet says to use /usr/sbin/slapd "because you're on RHEL8" (wrong), instead of "because you're using a RHEL-styled package".

Supersedes #429 . 429 is a better fix by dropping the systemd hack file altogether when you use a non-RH package. As we roll towards RHEL9 and everyone is having to use non-RH packages, more folks will see that, but minimally this starts unblocking the path to get there.

Closes #429
