Describe the bug

The system-wide LDAP client configuration in /etc/ldap.conf is ignored by Openldap client programs.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Put settings into /etc/ldap.conf via config.settings.ldap.*
2. Run ldapsearch or any other Openldap client

Expected behavior

Openldap client programs should obey the system-wide configuration file in /etc/ldap.conf.

Additional context

strace shows it's reading the example configuration from the package instead:

$ strace -e file ldapsearch
[...]
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/nix/store/j8mm1wgsx4vmxaxbf6ximq59ry5qj7yl-openldap-2.6.2/etc/ldap.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
newfstatat(3, "", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=247, ...}, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/dan/ldaprc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/dan/.ldaprc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "ldaprc", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[...]

Since commit 39ef632 the openldap package no longer passes --sysconfdir=/etc to configure, it only passes sysconfdir=${placeholder "out"}/etc to make instead.
