[turba] Composite fields

Something like this, but you'll need to adapt it to your backend:

        'name' => array('fields' => array('firstname', 'lastname'),
                        'format' => '%s %s'),
        'firstname' => 'object_firstname',
        'lastname' => 'object_lastname',

Also, I don't think I ever tested composite fields with LDAP, so while it
*should* work, you might run into a thing or two.

There isn't one for HEAD yet. I think you just volunteered to write this bit. ;)
