Say this 10 times so I don't forget:

mean that a trivial change can go in without testing simply because
it looks OK. test, test, test.

I'm sorry guys.
The NixOS manual documents that you can invoke every tests using
nix-build path/to/nixos/tests/test.nix
which was not the case for openldap since it is not autocallable, but
requires pkgs and system as arguments. Usually, make-test-pythons.nix
takes care of this if it is imported at the top-level, but since
openldap.nix contains multiple tests, this was not the case.
This is however easily fixed by:
* Adding default values for the pkgs and system arguments based on the
definition in make-test-python.nix
* Passing pkgs and system explicitly to make-test-python.nix to ensure
the pkgs and system values passed from all-tests.nix are used.
The reason for this change is simply to avoid the following messages
that are unnecessary and can be confusing (and these messages will be
repeated for each submodule):
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
With this change the behaviour remains unchanged (apart from the
suppressed "warning" in the console output of course) and therefore this
doesn't cause any hashes to change and by default nix-prefetch-git uses
the "fetchgit" branch anyway (branchName can be set to override the
default):
Switched to a new branch 'fetchgit'
For that reason the initial branch name doesn't matter anyway and since
we're not relying on / hardcoding "master" we could simply switch to
"main" (which seems most common nowadays). See [0] for more details on
why this wouldn't break anything.
However, since the initial branch name doesn't matter and to avoid any
additional risks it was "decided" to keep using "master" (s. #113313).
