    trust: automatically resolve DNS trust conflicts for triangle trusts
    
    For configuration where:
      - AD example.com trusts IPA at ipa.example.com
      - AD example.org trusts AD example.com
      - a trust is tried to be established between ipa.example.com and
        example.org,
    
    there will be a trust topology conflict detected by example.org domain
    controller because ipa.example.com DNS namespace overlaps with
    example.com DNS namespace.
    
    This type of trust topology conflict is documented in MS-ADTS 6.1.6.9.3.2
    "Building Well-Formed msDS-TrustForestTrustInfo Message". A similar
    conflict can arise for SID and NetBIOS namespaces. However, unlike SID
    and NetBIOS namespaces, we can solve DNS namespace conflict
    automatically if there are administrative credentials for example.org
    available.
    
    A manual sequence to solve the DNS namespace conflict is described in
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/cc786254%28v=ws.10%29.aspx.
    This sequence boils down to the following steps:
    
       1. As an administrator of the example.org, you need to add an
    exclusion entry for ipa.example.com in the properties of the trust to
    example.com
       2. Establish trust between ipa.example.com and example.org
    
    It is important to add the exclusion entry before step 4 or there will
    be conflict recorded which cannot be cleared easily right now due to a
    combination of bugs in both IPA and Active Directory.
    
    This patchset implements automated solution for the case when we have
    access to the example.org's administrator credentials:
    
       1. Attempt to establish trust and update trust topology information.
       2. If trust topology conflict is detected as result of (1):
       2.1. Fetch trust topology infromation for the conflicting forest
            trust
       2.2. Add exclusion entry to our domain to the trust topology obtained
            in (2.1)
       2.3. Update trust topology for the conflicting forest trust
       3. Re-establish trust between ipa.example.com and example.org
    
    We cannot do the same for shared secret trust and for external trust,
    though:
    
       1. For shared secret trust we don't have administrative credentials
          in the forest reporting the conflict
    
       2. For the external trust we cannot set topology information due to
          MS-LSAD 3.1.4.7.16 because external trust is non-transitive by
          definition and thus setting topology information will fail.
    
    To test this logic one can use two Samba AD forests with FreeIPA
    using a sub-domain of one of them.
