openldap: update ldap-parser crate to 0.5.0 and refactor code
Description
The current version of ldap-parser is 0.5.0, so the dependency in Suricata should be upgraded.
Version 0.5.0 also has support for the ToStatic trait, which can be used to refactor code and simplify/eliminate all redundant code in Suricata's LDAP parser (currently, all types are duplicated from the Rust crate).
I have already worked on this and have a PR ready.
Note: this will bump the dependency on asn1-rs as well, but it keeps compatibility with old rust compilers (MSRV is 1.63). After that, we can also upgrade other ASN.1-based parsers as well.

@Pierre Chifflier just a FYI, if you want this to go into 8 you have just a few days left. Otherwise we'll target 9.

Hi Victor,
I think it's safer to target 9, I do not feel comfortable changing this just before release (since it can also mean updating x509-parser, kerberos-parser etc. to have only one dependency on asn1-rs)
