Issue Description

We should enforce that if an object is of type nsds5replica, it must be named cn=replica. This has caused some confusion where people have misconfigured their system by trying alternate names.

Valid:
cn=replica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config

Invalid:
cn=supplierreplica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config

I don't not remember if there are any other valid child objects of the suffix MT entry here, so I think this should be checked.

This is a common usability issue, and low resources to fix, so we should do it ASAP.

There is an assumption, we retrieving replica, that RDN is 'cn=replica'. I am not sure it worth the effort to support different RDN. But an option would be to update replica_config_add so that when a replica entry is added to check that its RDN is REPLICA_RDN. It looks a simple fix.

agreed, we should enforce cn=replica, if we would go the other way and make cn=somerplica work we would run into issues where several replica objects for a suffix would be added
