Description

For now, LDIF's inventory revisions are stored in the FS, in a at most naive way.
Store them in PostgreSQL

Of course, we will have to be a little smart about how to store them.

Most of the time, new revision of an inventory will be >90% the same the previous one.
As we inherently deals with trees, that make us think to Zippers (i.e http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2010/01/zippers_making_functional_upda.php)

At least, we should tar ldif (I believe that PostreSQL is able to make that automatically), and to not copy diff when not updated (so, two table: one [server uuid ; datetime ; ldif id], and one other [ldif id, ldif content] so that several (server uuid, datetime) are allowed to point to the same ldif content)

Actually, we don't store inventory revision at all nowadays, and if we were starting to do so, we certainly won't do it in LDIF, nor in the database.

So closing that one as "you were relevant 5 years ago, not today"
