DP: Introduce new interface for backend
Terminology:
* Backend: Implemenation of domain
* Data Provider: interface between backend and responders
* Module: ldap/ipa/ad/... dlopened library that implements dp interface
* Target: id/autofs/sudo/... functionality of module
Benefits over current code:
* data provider is a black box completely separated from backend
* method handlers are just simple tevent requests on backend side
* no need of spy on be_client
* simplified and error proof adding of new responders
* simplified adding of new methods
* reply to D-Bus message is completely handled by DP code
* each target can have several methods defined
* properties can be added on objects
* each method can have output parameters
* modules now support constructor
* improved debugging
* clear memory hierarchy
* ability to chain requests
* type safe private data
