OK, this would be the best approach. After more discussion on #sssd with
Pavel and Simo we agreed that Pavel will carry on with this approach for
the time being.

The only two changes in these patches would be better namespacing of the
functions used and unifying the resolver initialization with what I'm
working on wrt dynamic DNS updates.

In the next release, we will create the additional layer and move the
plugins there. I moved https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1083 which is
tracking that effort to NEEDS_TRIAGE so we can put it into an appropriate
milestone tomorrow.
