Member management in modules is similar in each module and involve a lot of code duplication, for example, add/del list management. The problem with this approach is that bugs, like idempotence bugs, may require changes in several modules, when it is found that the similar idiom used is flawed. Another issue is the need to duplicate the code, which can lead to errors. This patch proposes a method to centralize the creation of the IPA commands for object members, provided the IPA API method names and a mapping between IPA API parameter, module parameter and the LDAP attributes of the object. With this crentralized approach, fixes, optimizations, and code changes can be made in a single place, without requiring every plugin to be changed.
Several modules depend on parameters that require the same kind of data transformation, and this transformation is usually reimplemented on each module. This patch proposes a different approach, where data transformation functions are provided to be used by any module, or as arguments for methods that process parameters, like the parameter mapping used by gen_member_manage_commands. The following transformation functions are provided: * transform_lowercase: ensure strings are lowercase * transform_hostmask: ensure hostmasks values are network CIDR. * transform_host_fqdn: ensure hostnames are FQDN. * transform_host_param: ensure host parameters are lowercase FQDN. * transform_service_param: ensure services parameters are lowercase principals.

Change ipasudorule to use the global member management method.
Change ipasudocmdgroup to use the global member management method.
Change ipaservice to use the global member management method.
Change ipaservicedelegationtarget to use the global member management method.
Change ipaservicedelegationrule to use the global member management method.
Change iparole to use the global member management method. NOTE: This changes modify the behavior of the 'service' member, by not preserving case.
Change ipagroup to use the global member management method.
Change ipahbacrule to use the global member management method.
Change ipahbacsvcgroup to use the global member management method.
The function servicedelegation_normalize_principals acn be used to normalize principals, but would work only on list or tuples. With this patch a simple string can be passed as the 'principal' argument and will also be normalized.
