I don't need SASL for LDAP client, but somebody messed up ports tree with

This note was added two days ago and it's simply not correct,
and/or overcome by events as it is against the common practice
in the tree *and* adhering to it would break currently working
ports.
Even if this doesn't exist at all the change was bad handled. No info in
UPDATING and what was working for years now doesn't work. Simple "pkg
upgrade" failed because of conflicting versions of openldap-client.
OpenLDAP needs framework improvements of the sort that gssapi
or ssl received, but we have yet to hear from the maintainer of
OpenLDAP on the matter.
And changes like this must be better tested before committing...
Breakages are too common in these days.
