This provider is unusable w/o documentation

ldap_object_attributes: Entry Already Exists error

How do we want to handle Entry Already Exists errors for ldap_object_attributes?

Error: LDAP Result Code 68 "Entry Already Exists": 00000562: UpdErr: DSID-031A11C4, problem 6005 (ENTRY_EXISTS), data 0

In my case, a member is already in the group.

One one hand, it'd be nice if the provider "absorbed" duplicates, ignored the error, and then took ownership of that attribute.

On the other hand, maybe that'd be a strange and unexpected behavior... Perhaps we add inherit_duplicates flag?

Tests

Apart from some unit tests, e.g. computation of ldap modify requests, we should also consider an acceptance test.

General documentation: https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/testing/index.html

It might make sense to look into a docker-based test setup with a real LDAP server, but also evaluate embeddable options like https://github.com/glauth/glauth or https://github.com/vjeantet/ldapserver
