split off sync clients from this repo

[stdweird]

Try to split off the sync clients from this repo, in particular to get rid of unnecessary dependencies and allow easier development
Eg. the slurm sync now pulls in ldap dependencies.

New repos can simply list vsc-administration as a dependency and there's no need for code changes.
However, once split, new packages will have to be installed on the relevant hosts to provide the sync clients

@wpoely86 @peterverraedt @backelj thoughts?
i can do this for the slurm code (making vsc-slurm or vsc-sync-slurm; not sure yet). as we don't use ldap in gent, it might be better that someone else takes this part over.

I am in favour.

How do you propose to split it? Everything in a separate repo?
I currently see:

• slurm accounting sync
• ldap account sync
• mail sync (for slurm)
• sync/create VSC account directories + quota

@wpoely86 yes, that would be ideal.
at the very least every clients that add dependencies (ldap for ldapsync and filesystems for user sync). because that complicates the deployment and development

OK, no issue for me.

I can have a look at the ldap bits but it's going to be for next year.
