openldap: allow non-root install

Description

Hi,

I was trying to compile Macports as a regular user (instead of running via sudo), and an issue occurred with openldap. Similar in concept to the dbus "no_root" variant, I modified the openldap port file to allow this.

Thanks, Caleb

Changes are:

  1. Add variant, and set startupitem.create to no. If it stays set to yes, build would fail when "activating", as it applies the other startup parameters
  2. Wrap the group creation with a 'variant isset' check
  3. Wrap the xinstall command with a 'variant isset' check

I'm not thrilled with adding a variant for this purpose.

Instead, it would make sense for the user to set startupitem_type to none in macports.conf when he installs MacPorts as a non-root user and does not want launchd plists created. Then, the port could be modified to only create the user account and data directory if ${startupitem.type} is not none. At least I theorize this should work; I have not tested.

Base changes make most of this unnecessary. Fixed the one thing that would have still been preventing non-root installation in r76807.
