      .`dsidm` now prompts to create an `ou` entry

      Previously, when you used the `dsidm` utility to create a user or a group but the Organizational Unit (`ou`) entry that the user or the group must belong to did not exist, you saw the following error:

      [literal,subs="+quotes"]
      ....
      Error: 105 - 4 - 32 - No such object - [] - dc=example,dc=com
      ....

      With this update, if the `ou` entry does not exist, the `dsidm` utility now prompts you to create this entry.

Error: 105 - 4 - 32 - No such object - [] - dc=example,dc=com .... With this update, if the `ou` entry does not exist, the `dsidm` utility now prompts you to create this entry.

      Description of problem:
      When you create an entry with dsidm, the OU where this entry is placed must exist. However, this information, and the required OUs are neither mentioned in --help, the man page, nor does the error message contains any hint.

      Suggestion:

      • dsidm should mention the required OUs both in --help and the man page.
      • It would be nice if the error message could show a meaningful error:
        > Error: 105 - 4 - 32 - No such object - [] - dc=example,dc=com
        It's really not self-explaining that it means that ou= {people,group,...}

        is missing
